Oil pressure drop down
Chevrolet Blazer 2005 110000 miles
When the engine's temperature is around 100, which is its normal range, and the car is stopped, the engine's pressure drops down. I might be driving for miles without any problems but, when I stop, it drops. I've changed the filter, oil and even gave it Flush.

It might be that the acceleration is low and that is why it tends to stall. It might as well be the oil sensor or more probably the oil pump.

The same happened to my Blazer 98 and what I did was to move the acceleration, approximately 1/4 of a turn in the throttle body and the problem was solved.

Parasitic draw from battery
Chevrolet Blazer 1999 Lt 200000 miles
It starts and runs from a few seconds to a minute then stalls the idler pulley is bad and makes us think it’s causing the alternator to not charge properly. It also sat for a good while before my cousin got it so I’m thinking the fuel pump isn’t putting out the right psi. It also starts to struggle when it’s in any drive gear. We’ve taken the starter off and cleaned it thoroughly, replaced alternator and battery and it ran good for a while it’s got engine noise I’m guessing could be a spun bearing because he’s ran out of coolant twice and his oil pressure drops at the same time. Could mainly use help narrowing it down.

There are several potential issues that could be causing the problems you've described with your Chevrolet Blazer. Here are a few possibilities:
Fuel pump: If the fuel pump isn't putting out the right pressure, it could cause the engine to run poorly or stall.
Idler pulley: If the idler pulley is faulty, it could cause issues with the alternator and result in a parasitic draw on the battery.
Spun bearing: If there is a problem with a bearing in the engine, it could cause noise and potentially cause the engine to run poorly or stall.
Alternator: If the alternator is not charging the battery properly, it could cause a parasitic draw on the battery and result in the vehicle stalling.
Battery: If the battery is not holding a charge, it could cause the vehicle to start and run poorly or stall.
