Default low rpm at idle!

this just happened, i turned on the car and it didnt sound right from the get go it sounded like it misfired, then the oil pressure went below 500 and it sounded like it was going to turn off, but came back up slightly, it did that all the way home, from what i can tell, the oil pan is SLIGHTLY leaking, not even dripping but you can see oil on the oil pan underneath, the oil pressure seems starts at 3/4 of the gauge at cold and stays like that for a while too, i'm using royal purple 5-30, any ideas on y it is misfiring??????? i'm about ready to sell it.... ...... car is an 02 ws6 105k miles on it and only mod is an LM1 catback

Did you by any chance let the battery die or use a lower grade fuel lately?
