so its a 93 ford exploder, and it seems like it has a loss of power, and when you get on the throttle the engine light sorta flickers and the oil pressure guage jumps way down and starts pinging up and down real fast. so im thinkin its a bad oil pressure sensor

also it has way to much tranny fluid, whoever checked it before must have checked it while it was cold and not running

Oil pressure sensor isn't going to cause pinging.

90's Ford's tend to have crap battery connections. Always all corroded and crappy.

i worked on an explorer where the starter had 12v but the main positive battery cable was so corroded it wouldn't even crank. just something to keep in mind.
