Oil Light & Low RPM! HELP
Okay, my friend has a 96 GSR with about 112,xxx miles on the motor. The motor recently has been acting strange, let me explain the problem. When my friend starts his car it would idle high for a few minutes to warm the car up(normal). And then once it starts to get warmed up, the needle would start to idle between 200-500 RPM!! NO LIE! And from that low idle the car seems fine, it will not stall or nothing but the oil light will flicker every 2 seconds. And when the car is idling at regular temperature at a stop light or anywhere else. We would hit the gas to go but it seems like the motor is bogging for a few seconds and then the car starts to go fine.. Its pretty strange, I checked the oil level, its at the correct point. We replaced the spark plug. The Spark plug wires and the cap and rotor are fine as wells. Dont know what else the problem would be! Also i forgot to add, when its idling at 200-500 the oil light will flicker, but when you tap the gas lightly to get more RPMS the oil light will disappear! Someone help please. Thanks!

Re: Oil Light & Low RPM! HELP
No vacuum leak, i checked all the hoses.. Idle does not go up and down, stays exactly at 200-500 rpm with a flashing oil lamp. Where do i connect the oil pressure gauge at? Something tells me, that the oil pump might be getting ready to go.. Can someone second that?
