PaulStarletSR Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 checked oil levels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This is the engine oil yes?Does it come on and stay on, or does it flicker? If it flicker's it's most likely the oil pressure switch on the front of the block, located next to the exhaust manifold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If your idle is low it will cause the light to flicker because there is little oil pressure. Your best bet is to figure out why it's idling low, vac leak etc, idle control valve etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
