when you lost your oil pressure did it go out for a second and then kick back in? or once you lost your gauge reading, did you have to restart the car to get it to read properly?

What was your gas tank showing? Under 1/4 tank?
It felt like the power steering was going out. This was because the car died. I have heard of this with Ford's before and I can't remember the fix. I will try a google search.

Same thing happens to my CSVT every once in awhile, and I really haven't figured it out fully. If you have an open filter (K&N etc) I would make sure that your MAF is clean and getting a good reading. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks. I just cleaned out my MAF the other day, and it hasn't done it since, so I would give that a try.

ya i checked all the fluids and everything, and my gas was almost a full tank... but i had to turn off my car then turn it on again and it was normal again...

Are you sure the car was running when all the warning lights came on?

 

[02svtfocus]

yup i was driving around when it happend....

Yeah I would either say it is a belt slipping or an electronics problem, I couldn't think of anything else it could be.
