Default Oil Light Flickering...

arite I'm new here and this is my first AP1, not my first honda though and i use to work for honda, just never had a customer come in for this problem. K so here's the deal my oil light flickers whenever im at a stop light while in neutral or just pop it in neutral and no gas applied....dont know why maybe the low oil light sensor needs replacing or the plug is loose? idk need help, oil is full so i know its not low on oil. thanx Jay

Oil pump?

I would get a oil pressure gauge on that asap if possible and don't drive it around.

Give us a break down on your car. Year, miles, owners, work done to it, etc

I had my oil light come on & this dumb ass shop told me it was ok & I could drive it... Lets just say I have a AP1 with an AP2 motor now. Don't take your car to retards to fix. They told me they had the best techs in town. BS.
