my nt beater has been doing this recently also.. after i changed the oil. I think it might have somthing to do with the warm weather and the oil becoming thin and the computer senses low oil pressure.. im going to change the oil for somthing higher..

Mine does the same.

I know for sure the 1g's have low oil pressure at idle, and mine did the same thing with light. Although it did it after having run for a while, so I changed out my beat up oil cooler (over 75% bent fins, its like a large rodent or concrete chunk hit it) and put in a heavier weight oil. Now my problem is gone.

my car has never done this until last week......i had it on a dyno and when it came off from then on its been doing it......i have 10w-30..maybe ill try and change the oil to see what that does......

Replace the light sender.

Ya just replace the oil pressure sending switch for the light... for the 2g's the part number is MD138993.... probably the same for the 1g's too
