If your saying that your low oil pressure light is coming on (or flickering) at engine idle , but goes out when engine is above idle (going along) this is sure sign you have a problem in your engines oil pressure system :
serious !~

some common reasons for this to occur are:

worn out engine parts allowing oil to leak out and not lube parts properly (hi engine miles)

low oil level -not enough oil inside engine to get pumped around proper

restriction in oil system - blockage in oil passageways even oil filter will count (hi miles)

Why does my oil light come on after the car warms up?

Why does my oil pressure light came on when I stop?
Low pressure means there either isn't enough oil in the system or the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil to keep the critical bearing and friction surfaces lubricated. If the light comes on while at speed, do your best to pull off the road quickly, turn the engine off, and investigate the problem to avoid damage.

Low oil pressure indicator at low rpms (idle) '97 olds V8

Low pressure when at idle, after the engine has warmed up and the oil has thinned, indicates that the oil pump is worn and needs to be replaced.

Oil light comes on when stopped at a light. Okay when moving. Oil levels are okay. Reving the engine when stops makes it go out.

Its possible the pressure light is faulty, or you really do have low oil pressure. The pressure is higher when the oil is cold than when the engine is warmed up.
You could replace the switch and see what happens, or get the pressure checked with a mechanical gauge in place of the switch.

Have that checked ASAP, you may already have engine damage. These engines are bad news, Oil sludging, timing chain and water pump problems if you dont use a synthetic oil.

2002 jeep oil light comes one when it is cold outside. as vehicle warms up (20 miles) or the engine slows down (stop lights) the light goes off. Mechanic has change oil light sensor, changed oil, said...

How is the sensor connected to the engine? I had a 2000 model Pajero which did the same thing. It had to do with the way the sensor was connected to the engine, the hollow bolt they used was aftermarket and didn't let enough oil through to the sensor. So the oil has to warm up first before it can get through to the sensor.

Sounds like oil pressure is dropping low enough at idle to trigger these alerts.

You need to investigate this ASAP before you lose the engine too lack of oil pressure.
