I have a 92x, and my Check Oil light keeps coming on intermittently, even though I just changed the oil, and the oil gauge shows right in the normal. What is causing this? If it were a faulty sending unit, wouldnt the gauge read no pressure? I dont want to drive my car around if my PCM knows something that I don't. Also, the air tube to the intake is securly fastened, so its not coming off(like it was originally 6 months ago which caused my first check oil light) anyone have any ideas?!
 






I believe there is an oil level sensor in the pan. It might be bad, or the wiring has been otherwise comprimised.

It is a seperate sensor from the oil pressure sensor/switch.
