4th gen- is this bad? pic
ok you 4th genners- you know what light is on, and its usually catastrophic:
NoOilPressure93Accord
It has plenty of oil, no funny noises from the engine, runs fine. Any ideas?

Short of putting a real oil pressure gauge on it, I'd GUESS a bad oil pressure switch or a short-to-ground on the wire to the switch.
Unplug the oil pressure switch. If the light goes out you'll know it's not a short.
Have you been running it like that for a while? It'll survive a little while with no oil pressure, but not for long.

its been like that for about a week now. I called the local honda dealer, and they said more than likely its a bad oil pressure switch and a new one is around $30 or so. i just have no idea where its at. they said above the oil filter, but havent had a chance to get underneath and check it out.

Replaced the oil pressure switch this morning- worked like a charm. Just a bit of a bitch to get leverage on with tools without removing the oil filter.
