hammer you are the 4.6 wizard i bought my 00gt last feb, since it got real cold here in tn, lately when i start my car all the gauges work fine ,except my oil press gauge drops to 0 in the red for a second or two, unless i give it a litle rev or wait for a few then it goes to normal, i keep up on my oil changes & it only has 18,000 miles on it is my oil pump going bad or did they bump something on my last oil change, im very new to the mod engine, what do you think, i know you are the man on the 4.6's ??????? while driving it is fine, is a computer problem ,you think or what? im old school -point's etc ,would appreciate just a guess, thank's.

I'm not a mechanic but:
That sounds like an oil pump starting to die to me.
I would have it checked out by a qualified mechanic...

A quick stop at the local shop is a lot better than any possible engine issues...
