oil light blinking and then its solid....

[jmolina]

hello guys...the oil light came on today, at first it was blinking really fast, then it blinked 3 times then 1 blink that took like 2 seconds, then it started again. then it stayed solid...

i noticed that it blinks real fast only at idle, when i get up to speed it blinks like every second until solid..someone pleaase help me...will it get fixed only by changing the sensor that sits on top of the oil filter? im submitting this via cell phone, the search funtion takes forever, im not at home or near a computer thanks for understanding.....

Your low on oil

My car does that when its low on oil

thanks for the replies oil change is recent, checked the oil its normal....could it be the sending unit?

[drummersteve7]

its possible the sending unit could be grounding.
hook up an oil press mechanical gauge to check your true press.

[mercyboy]

it could be something clog in the sensor system....Check if vacuum or other plus are not clog...plus make sure nothing like oil....just double check...It could just be the sensor

[jmolina]

ok guys, today i changed the sensor, i ripped the cover cap...oops
also did the needed oil change on the process...so far no oil light, hope it stays that way. If it comes back, i'll hook up the oil gauge that i have laying around and check the press. Thanks for you support

Your oil pressure switch is gone. They normally don't go out, but its time for a new one! They run less than $10 (its located above the oil filter).

Wierd, my Sedan had a "faulty" oil pressure light and apparently the old lady ran out of oil and blew my engine up.
However when I put the motor back together, the oil light/sensor works fine.
It even recorded (came on) when the oil pickup clogged from old dried up milk.
About 3 mins after running the oil light would flicker, come on dim, then blink on/off, then be steady on.
Meanwhile the engine ran fine.
Popped off the oilpan to find 1/8th of the pan to be filled with solid sludge/milk

yeah funny....anything else that you wanna point out? or u just wanna get your post count up?

[hondalude86]

well, i figure as slow as the beginner parts of this site are, i figure i have to post whenever i feel somewhat necessary. I dont currently own a 4th gen, although i've had 2, and i'd like to possibly purchase one. Plus, i did think it was funny... Its had to contribute overwhelmingly helpful information to site like this, when your a person that owns 2 2nd gen Preludes. However, I do love the Cb7. And much like this post, the last was really unnecessary, but i did point out something i thought was funny that YOU said, and YOU called me out for post whoring... I guess that lengthy explanation about Oil that posted and the lengthy explanation about brakes will both be viewed that way too... But again, hard for me to find posts to actually make a wow i can help you effect. You Know what i mean?
