Car Randomly Stutters, then is fine again

OK so I'm trying to figure out the next issue here. I will be driving and everything is fine then randomly the car will stutter hard and my foot could be to the floor and it barely moves. I let go once or twice then it drives fine again.

I noticed the oil pressure goes WAY down to just a hair above the red marker when this happens and sometimes the gauge dances around. It could not happen for hours after but everyday it does happen. It also only seems to happen in the 2500RPM range and lower, once it gets out of that range and increases its fine

Anyone have any ideas?

what do your other guages do? Sounds like the car could be losing power and trying to shut off and than resumes to run

The other gauges run fine Adam, just the oil pressure is low along with the RPM

well, when ur RPM drops, your oil pressure is naturally going to drop. Paul, have you checked all your plug wires are clicked on tightly? I had the same issue couple years back, car would sputter around 2500 or so and it was that one of my plug wires was not clipped on completely.
