Default I need help.....OIl light problem

i posted recently about my oil problem....we flushed the engine with some gunkout or somethin like that and we put some karosine in it also........THe problem to start was the oil light stayed on and we had oil in it and i was told it could be oil pump because of low pressure so we figured it was just clogged up cuz of the **** that was in my motor . Well after we flushed it out and put oil and new oil filter in it we took it for a drive it went about 5 miles without the oil light coming on and then it flickered on and then off in like 2 seconds and it did this constantly for about a mile and then it went off when made a stop and when i started going again it came on and stayed on for about 2 miles more and now that we got it here the light just flicks on and off...
so in conclusion anyone know what may be my problem


sorry if its hard to read and understand

Could be a bad pump or clogged screen or worn mains.

I strongly suggest you get an oil pressure test guage on it before you damage the engine.
