    oil light flickers at idol

    Hi

    Ive got a new issue with my 1995 LWB here in Boston.

    I went to take a quick run to the store yesterday (about 6 miles round trip) and when I went to leave and drive back home after maybe 15 min in the store, when I got to the first stoplight the oil light flickered on and off (the red one)

    I went to pull over but as soon as i started driveing it went out. I drove home and when i got to the driveway the light light came on and flickered again as soon as i hit an idol, so i turned to rover off asap.

    I checked my oil level and its fine.

    Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this.

    Hi i realized now I posted this question before when I first had the problem, but that one went away and didn't remember posting before.

      hi

      just updating for future users who might have a same issue

      as i mentioned the oil light only came on when i was idling.
      turns out the issue was a low idle and so once that got adjusted (new belt needed also) the problem seems to have been resolved (for now at least)
