engine oil light comming on
I have a 1998 2.5 v-6 autostick. when I am at a light stopped the engine rpm's drop from around 700 to 500 then my oil light comes on. It will stay on until I either do 2 things. 1st pop the car into nuteral. 2nd drive off. It only does this when the car has been running a while to. Has anyone else experianced this or know anything about it? if you need more info let me know.
Thanks for the help Jay |

I have had the same problem for the past year. I go through periods where I get horrible gas mileage, my engine only revs when I am stopped, etc. I have taken the car to 5 shops with no fix. The oil light goes on, blah blah blah. I am about to sell this piece of sh!t if I can't fix this. Please let me know if there is a solution for this. Oh well, enough venting...

oil light on V-6 Interpid
After driving for about 30 minutes, the oil light flickers when I stop and only then. As soon as I touch the gas, it goes off. The oil pressure has been checked with a mechanical gauge and a new pressure sending unit installed but it still does exactly the same thing. I have read that a slight drop in the idle can cause this to happen. A possible cure for that is to have the throttle body thoroughly cleaned. Anybody else got any ideas??

oils light fix
I had that problem a few months ago. When I idled the oild light would come on, I got an oil change and it still stood on. So I took it to a friend of mine and the oil switch above the ecxaust manafold was burnt out. Try looking into the switch its not an expensive part.

I'm glad to hear there is a fix but I'm confused. Did your mechnic put in the oil swith above the manifold or did he do somethng else?

Thanks for the info. It sounds like exactly the same problem. Did your man say if this was damaging in the meantime? I'll let you know what the bulletin says. Thanks again.

oil light sending unit
I just had my 2001 intrepid serviced for the same thing. I told them that there may be a TSB for it, they couldn't find any such TSB. After driving for 10-15mi's they reproduced the problem and reported it as a "shorted out sending unit". They replaced it and it seems to have fixed the problem.
