Check your oil pressure sending unit... My light used to not come one when I started the car, and it would just flicker... Turned out to be the pressure sending unit... I unscrewed it, put another in and it was fine...

is you sensor hooked up to an ls-vtec line?
sometimes being in the wrong location it wont sense oil
pressure until you crank the motor

if it stays on while the car is running, your in big trouble

Default

it only means you have low oil psi . could be pump or damage in the engine. assuming the switch is good.

Get a mechanical oil psi gauge, always accurate.

usually when it flashes it means you have a bad sensor but not always
