Oil warning light

[99V8SHO]

When my car is sitting idling, the oil warning light flashes every few seconds, but it stops when I begin to move. I have checked my oil many times and it is fine. Why is this happening? Is this happeneing to anyone else?

I'd get an oil pressure gauge on there pronto.

Check the electrical connection to the sending unit... directly above the oil filter. May want to replace the sensor... trying the cheap attempted solution first.

Then what comes after that?

After that you want to actually measure the oil pressure in real numbers. If you are getting much below 10 lbs/sqin at idle, you want to find out why.
