Hello! Make sure you have oil in your engine. If so, your oil pressure switch may be bad, or less likely, your oil pump. The pressure switch is located right by the oil filter on the I6 engine. If it has oil on it, it's bad. The 2nd problem is an easy $5 fix. Remove fuses # 10 and #28 under the hood. Completely remove the throttle body (4 bolts and an electrical connector). Use a rag and a nylon brush and clean with a sensor safe spray like Seafoam. When done, install the throttle body, then put the fuses back in. Will take 15 minutes or so of driving for the PCM to relearn the clean throttle body. Very common problem on our platform.
