ok my oil light start to flicker when my idle drop low then goes back up. for example im in first gear then suddenly idle drop low and the oil light come on.. sometime it come on and flicker constantly till i turn motor off. sometime it just drop ilde and flicker once and idle goes back up. car run fine.. this only happen when im idling in first gear... also it hard to take off first gear when this happen.. i have to pull it out of first gear hard to get it out ...someone help!! could this problem due to im running hondata s300 and it tune to run on 91 gas but i just swap in the motor and pump 91 gas so it at basically between 87 and 91 octane right now?

I was thinking the switch is pressure sensitive. If thats true it could mean that your oil pump has failed. You might look into that before you drive it all over.

either your oil pressure sensor is fubar, or you spun a bearing.

Yeah since its only doing it at low speed and idle noticably, I am going to lean towards a spun bearing, since its what happened when my H23 died. Have you noticed any small noises or vibrations? At first I thought my car had an exhaust leak the noise was so minor, but it started getting worse and the oil light was flashing even though it was full. Within 2 weeks it was fubar'd and I started my swap.

found out it my clutch is not fully disengaging in first gear so it just drop the idle because it is engaging halfway even thought my foot is on the clutch all the way.. i think my master or slave could be bad or the tranny could be bad. any idea?

if you're idling super low, like under 500rpm, the pump just isn't going to be able to produce enough pressure, fix the idling issue, and you won't have the problem.

Taking a look at your pickup probably wouldn't hurt either, it could be clogged a bit.

My old 98 SH motor had a similar problem, it got to the point where if I let off of the gas the car would just die. I ended up swapping in a new motor and when we took the old motor out and checked it out, we found that the oil pump was bad, had no pressure what so ever. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT DRIVE until it is fixed.

For the clutch issue, how is your fluid level? Is there fluid soaking the carpet inside by the clutch and brake pedals? Or leaking from the slave cylinder? If either are bad they should leak and you will notice loss of fluid. Also, maybe you need to adjust the rod on the master cylinder from the clutch pedal, if you get under your dash and look at it is pretty self explanatory, just dont go too far.
