Oil pump
So I have a 92 Honda civic with a d16y8 in it as th other day I was goin down the road and when I stopped the oil light came on and started to flash a lil bit but when I took off it when off and would stay off until I stopped then it would come on and flash again wht could this be?
Most likely your bearing or pump clearances are much too wide due to wear. Either way this is the Engine Management Section - as in using a laptop to tune the vehicle... and not your normal tech section. You should have posted in the 92-00 Civic section.
When bearing clearances are too loose from wear, oil is essentially pouring out to be dramatic. The loss of this restriction from proper clearances will result in loss of pressure and will be more noticed at idle when the volume isn't there from the pump. I don't know how to put it any more basic than that.

Oil pressure switches don't typically fail intermittently. They usually stick open or closed. It is just a switch after all. Other than that have you even read what you are being told? I think you are beyond help.
