oil light....Voyager
I have 1998 plymouth voyager. Just recently I notice oil light comes on when idle at traffic light. But when I accellarate oil light goes off. I have checked oil level and it's fine.
What seems to be the problem?

Re: oil light....Voyager
Would you know where that sensor may be located at? I hate to pay out when the problem may be simple. And if I decided to take to be looked at,do think it may be expensive?

Re: oil light....Voyager
If it's a 3.3 or 3.8 ltr engine the oil pressure sending unit is located on the engine block right next to the oil filter on the forward bottom of the engine. If it's a 3.0 ltr the sending unit is located on a short tube extending from the base of the oil filter mount housing. If it's a 2.4 ltr, you got me. Try next to the filter somewhere. I'd be surprised if they cost more than $30. Ask the dealer. If the pump is bad...for now just hope it's not. Usually when a pump goes you get no pressure and a constant light. Please let us know what the fix was.
Couple other things to consider: Are you way overdue for an oil change? Have you changed to a different viscocity oil or synthetic oil recently? Is the idle RPM where it should be?

Re: oil light....Voyager
I would change the sender unit. Get one from NAPA/CarQuest or the dealer, some of the chain stores carry junk. Probably cost you $20 or less.
