Oil pressure light blinking after stall.

[Drifting in 808]

Hey guys id like to say thanks for your help with my last problem. but my friend has a 94 honda accord 4dr 5 speed 92 h22 in it. he just bought this car and he is learning how to drive stick. i started to teach him today and he stalled it once. after he stalled it the oil pressure light started to blink when he started it up agian. it was fine untill he stalled it. what does this mean.

[quaidum]

the oil pump is driven off of the crank

so when the crank slowed down to the point of the car stalling the pressure sensor recognized that the oil pressure has dropped below the safe point

since the key is still in the run position the sensor believes the motor is not getting sufficient pressure and keeping the light on even though the car is not running

when you return the key to the off position the sensor goes "oh the motor is off we don't need pressure"

wow...that makes total sense. so is it just for some cars because i have a 93 cb7 with a h22 also but when i stall it the light does not come on.

I THINK it depends how long he lugged it before it died.i think the light will start blinkin if you lose oil press for more the 3seconds//////

your pressure sensor might be faulty then b/c it should blink, at least my 93 ex coupe does

What if the light is blinking when your driving it?

The owners manual says nothing about a blinking oil light

The owners manual says nothing about a blinking oil light

then you have less than 1 qt. of oil, less than adequate pressure, or a faulty sensor

it is on page 40 of my 93 accord owners manual

look in the index under OIL: LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT

this is the text

A severe fluctuation in engine oil pressure will cause this light to flash on and off. You should pull safely off the road and stop the car. When the engine has cooled down check, the oil level, and add oil if necessary.
The low oil pressure light will come on, and remain on, if there is insufficient oil pressure or when the ignition switch is turned on with the engine not running. If the light should come on while driving, get off the road as soon as you can, turn the engine off and check the engine oil level(see page117)
Even if the oil level is correct, the engine should be checked by a Honda dealer before the car is driven again.

Ah, it would always come on in my accord if i made a hard turn

I would just flick the key off then back on real quick and it would go away.

i had the same thing happen with my brake light when i would take a hard turn
found out that it was my brake fluid cap registering a low level when there was plenty of fluid(to many g's) so i unplugged it
