oil light problem
Wel i let my car sit for about 2 weeks now and i said fuck it im taking it for a ride i drove for about 20 miles and the light came on again went back home parked it. Then the next day started it up drove it it ran beatifully and then after about 20 miles the light start blinking again. Why is it doing that after a while but not from the beggining would that be a hint for anything?
keep in mind that light is activated when the pressure drops below 5psi.
idle oil pressure should be around 20-25 psi.
idle oil pressure should be around 20-25 psi.

well i know im prolly asking lots of stupid questions but i dont have the money to put in the shop and dont really have tools to take the headers off and get to the oil pan cuz all that is stock so its been on there since 91 and im scared ima break a bolt or something. Well is it possible there is something on the bottom of the pan and after car sits its on the bottom but when i drive it then the pick up tube sux the oil in to the engine the debrise and shit gets stock in that screen and the oil pressure drops.....cuz if its possible im gonna drain the oil over the weekend and get some engine restorant and new oil and get that cleaned up.
thanx bro for the pic its making sense cuz i got under the car n i think i found it but im not sure how am i suppose to get a tool to it but this seems easier do i have to drain the oil to take the pressure switch off? and then can i screw the gage in the place where the pressure swittch was to check my pressure?
Since like i said earlier i cant take the headers off to get to the pan im gonna try and change the pressure switch and then change my oil and get some restorant to get all the nasty junk out of there. Any tips what else should i do?
