What is your question?
when i drive my car for long periods of time, when i stop at a light or stop sign, my oil pressure gauge goes down to zero but when i press on the to go, it will go back to normal. This issue does not happen all the time. I was told to change to oil sensor which is under the hood and i have done. the problem still occurs. What else could be the problem

If it's not the gauge or sending unit, your oil pressure is dropping because the oil sump is high mileage and worn/clogged and can't pump the oil at such a low idle after the viscosity has changed when the engine is warm. Its not a problem I'd bother with but if you really want to fix it i would recommend dropping the oil pan and replacing the pump and pickup, or at least check if the screen on the bottom is clogged with debris.
