From what I understand this oil light is not a low oil level light but a low pressure light. Ive looked all over nothing is whats going on with my oil light. Now the light switch was broken most of the time I've had the car. but I always had oil going everywhere it needed too. I found this out for sure when I redid the head. Then oil pump front case gasket started leaking big time around the timing belt. So I toke off front case cleaned inspected oil pump gears no metal shavings at all. No scraping of any kind on the case. I reassembled gears exactly like I pulled them. Both marks on the gears pointing at each other like jafro mentioned on his Youtube vid. Im keeping my Balance shafts. I made sure they were still good as well as the bearings. Toke off the OFH off case removed sending and light(not the broken one I had replaced already) switches scrubbed the OFH clean. Reinstalled the front to block new oem gasket I cleaned both surfaces to its machined finish with clean razor blades new oem BS crackshaft oil pump seals installed OFH oem gasket i installed a SS oil turbo feed line because i twisted the fittings trying to remove them but failed. After reassembled everything back light switch wire was damaged and i replaced it along with new connector fired right up, didn't take it on road for about 2 hours idling. Checking for leaks. Oil pump case problem solved. The next toke on the road day no light did long drives no light. The next week light began flickering at a stop light, I pulled over to check oil level oil it was full. Started car remove oil cap immediately squirted out oil all over me when I revved the engine . Came home removed timing cover to check for leaks found none.
1st pic is revving to 1000 rpm no light
2nd pic is at idle 700-800 rpm give or take estimate no light
3rd pic is at idle 700-800 rpm with light flickering not staying completely on
Light does not turn on while driving
never goes pass 1st high pressure line maybe a little pass the oil can picture at 90mph
The pin always stays right where the pic shows then starts flickering I've ordered oem light and gauge switches just haven't gotten them yet.
I don't get it on what to do after this...
