Oil pressure and RPM dropping while idle-ing in drive

Hey guys,

I have a 91 camaro rs 3.1L and I just got it back from the mechanics to running. The vacuum hoses were reconnected, the oil pan gasket was replaced and was flushed and new oil was put it. The car was running well until I would get to a stop sign and then the rpm and oil pressure would just drop, the oil pressure gauge was reading between the first redline and normal. What could be going on? It didnt happen this morning so I am really confused about what is happening.
tl;dr: car stalls out while sitting at a stop sign but runs fine just driving.
