when its cold outside it takes longer for the oil to get to all the engine parts and or your oil sending unit. just don't race the motor right after you start it as that can do damage to it.

Change your sending unit.

I assume this happens more when it is cold outside? This was a very common problem for Fords in that yuear range. Go to the DEALER and get an oil pressure switch. It will fix the problem. One note though, more than likely you have a 4.0L, and it is a little tough to get to it.
