Question question for you pros

two questions for you guys:

When i was sitting in the drive through today my car started to sputter slightly. I was in neutral and Both my rpms and my oil pressure were dropping and rising sparatically. Rpms dropped just below the normal idle of 1k and oil pressure from 18 to 16 or so. The car never died tho. I just had an oil change, 10W30 and the temp outside is about 25 degrees. Any ideas?

Also, my low coolant light keeps coming on tho I am not low on coolant at all, pressure is good and i dont seem to have a leak. Light comes on about 15 min after a cold start.

As always, thanks in advance.

What kind of car?

The low coolant problem is common. Try cleaning the sensor. If that doesnt work, replace it. dealer cost is $35.00.

Or... you can just unplug it, and check the coolant the old fassioned way.

Is the SES light lit?

what are the codes?

is it still doing it, or did it correct itself?
