OIL Light question/problem
ok this is weird to me
i just swapped in a 1995 B18b1 into my 1997 integra ls
started right up no problems what so ever about 20 min. later
i let the car run the oil light started to blink so i turn the car off
and check everything (new oil so oil level is good) i put a new oil
pressure switch and turn it back on same thing about 20 min. later
the light starts to flicker and so i turn the car off and right back on
and the light stays off for another 20 min. over and over again
i took off the oil pump (bought a used but good one from a friend)
when i took the one off the car i pulled it apart and it looks better
then the one i bought so i put the old one back on.
changed my ecu and i put thicker oil in there also and no change weird
thing is when the light turns on i restart the car and it takes it 20 min. to turn on again.
if anyone can help me with this i would appreciate it just thoughts you
might think is wrong with it so i can check it out

if you got good level then i would guess its an electrical problem. since you just swapped the motor you could have easily missed something..
i would check the wires first

thnx for the replys
wiring should be good because for the first 20 min. at a time
nothing is wrong until it flickers.
and yea i was thinking of putting a oil pressure gauge in to know
for sure if its getting low pressure when its flickering/on
any more thoughts on what it could be? just so i can fix it for when
i put the gauge in there and nothing is actually wrong
