yesterday i had this little problem, its never done it b4, and it only did it on the way down to where i was going, it was fine the rest of the time.
when i would be just idleing a stop light is when my oil light would come on, kinda like it would if u killed your car cause u suck at driving stick.(my car is manaual by the way) and as soon as i gave it gas and it wasn't idleing, the light went off immediately. i checked the oil, its fine. and it only did it that once. also, if i let it go, it would idle really low, prob between 650-750, and thats when the light would turn on. i let it just sit once, so that the light came on, but the car never died so i dont' kno what the f is going on. haha
any help would be great!

I think its because of the oil pressure at idle. The lower the idle the lower the oil pressure. Try playing with your BISS screw and make it idle a little higher. If that does not work then you should reset the car by unpluging the battery and see if that works. I read some place on here that oil lights going on and off is a symptom of crankwalk.
