97 ram stalling out

[Faceplan7]

97 ram 1500 5.2 keeps stalling, oil pressure light comes on when it stalls. Can turn it on fine afterwards & keep driving wherever it needs to go (but it will stall out again eventually). Noticed its when I throw it in reverse or change from R -> D. Coolant is sitting just above Min level. It's sat for a while (squirrel chewed through what I'm assuming is a vacuum hose that pumps AC/HEAT through the main vents) and we found a bit of a nest just under the air filter, cleaned out and that fixed our rough idle mostly)) replaced the plug wires a few hundred miles ago and the plugs not even ten miles ago. Also, noticed today that the truck kicked its idle up by ~1000RPM when sitting and went right back down. Somewhat unusual as I haven't noticed that before. Thoughts?

Bump...someone will chime in here.

Bump, hoping that someone has experience here. Or not, depending on how bad this is, yikes!

Any oil pressure problems? Wacky oil pressure gauge?

 

[Faceplan7]

No I haven't noticed my oil pressure gauge going down or acting funky, hoping this isn't a big deal, but I don't know anyone who really has a clue

Does the coolant level ever get above the min? Sounds like the truck isn't warming up fully and the computer may be shutting it down. That is my guess.
