Well if your oil levels are normal next thing I would check would be your oil sensor. That coulda gone bad it should be located around the top of your oil filter.

Ditto!

 

would i be able to find it at auto zone or pep boys?

 

you want to go junk yard or dealer, they doesn't usually fail that easily.

in most case the car get junked before they fail.

test it with a multi-meter first and see if you are getting consist ready

 

OAk,

I were you the first thing i'd do is stop driving that car, 2nd connnect an oil
pressure gauge to your oil pressure switch to register for oil pressure, if you ain't got no PSI most likely your oil pump is bad.

good luck

 

where would the oil pump be at? and how do i check it?

 

probably the oil sump pickup screen is plugged up with sludge from never changing the oil.
happens all the time on those 82 accords

 

hey i put a new sensor but now the light just stays on how do i check the sensor?

dido... check the pressure, and there isnt really a way to check that switch on your own, honda can do it, but it will cost you. You can check to make sure there is power to it with a volt meter, but that is about it!

This is what I think is the problem too. Whatever year your car is.
