I have a 2002 VX SS and over the past couple of weeks the engine light will come on and then the oil light will come on a few seconds after. They will both stay on for a few seconds and then turn off. It seems to be happening every couple of days and three or four during driving. I had changed the 'oil pressure switch' about 2 months ago as the engine light had come on and stayed on. It ...

Is this supposed to mean something? I've checked the oil level and its exactly at H and the oil change has been done less than 2000kms ago. EDIT: 2002 Sentra GXE M/T, stock.

(newbie warning) Check signature for car/engine specs Today I noticed Oil light flickering at low RPM On the road, at a stop, oil light is solid goes away when RPM goes up Now... I *did* tweak the idle When idle is set so the light goes away, driving is weird because ... Idle is too high - even then, before stopping the light goes on for a bit...

So this morning I went out to start my 71' super as I hadn't started in about a week due to my stabilizer bar bushing popping out (rough Idaho roads) and having a hell of a time finding a new one. Anyway I started it up and walked into the barn to grab some fuel, came back and saw the oil light on...so I immediately shut the engine off, opened the hood and waited 2-3 min and checked the oil it ...

This might have been all addressed at some point so I apologize before hand. Last Tuesday after I got home there was an errand I had to run. The previous week I was driving my truck; I alternate between the 2 to save the wear and tear on my Trep. I get back home from a 15 mile round trip and my oil light flickers for a moment. Thought it was a phantom light....like my odo, gear, ...

I just finished replacing a valve spring on a 2003 liberty 3.7L. Before I hooked up the oil pressure switch wire and all, I flushed the cooling system and noticed that the oil pressure switch got a good wash as well. It is just about directly under the radiator hose. I finished refilling the cooling system and hooking everything back up. I started the thing and the oil light has been on ever ...

Have a 97 4cyl Accord. Believe it or not..bought it at a YARD SALE! That was 100,000 miles ago. They day after we bought it, the oil light started blinking...so I got a guage 2c what was going on. When I first start it in the morning, pressure is about 80 pounds. After it reaches operating temp, it drops to 50 pounds at highway speeds, but drops to zero or maybe 2 pounds at stop lights. ...

2003 GT 65K When I stop for a stop sign or a stop light, there is a beep and the check oil light comes on. I was driving neighborhood streets with lots of stops. It seemed like as soon as the foot was taken off the brake to give it gas, the beep would happen and the check oil light would go on and off. Stopped and check the oil level and it was fine. When I finally got to a stop light with a ...

Need some help... Oil pressure light is on. I've taken all the steps I know up to this point. Oil pressure light(red oil can) would come on intially during acceleration then go away once I got rolling(no red oil can). In stop and go traffic it would go on and off. Next step replaced the oil pressure sender. No light ...

Posting for a friend who has a 2006 XK w/the 4.7 V8 He states he'll start it (cold) and that the oil pressure light will go on and stay on. He shuts it off and restarts it right away and the light does not go on (goes out immediatley upon firing). I said it may be a bad drainback valve but he, like I, uses Mobil 1 M1-204 filters which is what I've put on my Hemi Charger since I've ...
