car wont stay goin

ok my problem is sometimes when i start my car it wonèt stay goin the only way it will stay goin is if hold the gas down and start it even if i am driven it and i let off the gas it will stall on me . the oil pressure drops really low too like from 45 down to 30 and the car idles really low like its gonna stall or somethin . it is the strangest thing i ever seen and after about a half hour or so it stops and goes back to normal and the check engine light is on while this is all taken place too.anyone with some info about this or knows exactly what it is let me know and also one more problem when i cut my wheels sharp and turn somethin snaps it sounds like it comin from the left side of the car any info on any of those would be greatly appreciated

Look through TechCentral and see if you can pull any codes from the ECM.

The snappping from the front left could be a loose steering box, worn suspension component, cracked frame...etc..just gonna have to crawl under there and look around, wiggle things. Might need a friend to turn the wheel back and forth while you're looking.

If you have a q-jet, although this may be simple, check the electrical connection...mine did the same thing when the connection was hanging off of the carb...if you don't have a q-jet don't ask me, I don't know my fuelies.
