Rod bearings mayby... and some codes

[SHO_DOODmorrris]

Hey guys...
So im at school, and before i take my car home next week i though i would pull codes, nothing major came up but i have a 92 and 13 but i fixed the 92 and the 13 is somthing to do with my IAC. BUT my real concern was after i ran the code test. i did a cylender balance test for ***** and giggles and about halfway through i glance up at my dash and i see the devil... very subtle but it was there... a flickering red oil light. &%$* i say to myself as i shut my engine off. i dunno... it was idling at about 900 to 1000 and the light was flickering so im kinda scared to fire it up again. is it my rod bearings?

are you sure that it was at 900-1000 when it did it?
on the cylinder balance test it drops the rpms and if it hits below 600rpm that light will come on
if you are still unsure, go to a local store and purchase a mechanical oil
pressure gauge and verify the pressure

i guarentee it was at 900-1000. i was watching the tach when it happened and i saw out of the corner of my eye the flickering light of death...

also have slight surging idle... and it wont stay alive after coming down from 2k for a frew seconds it just comes down and dies duing the code reading session... but it idles at like 1k... has newer IAC on it and it has the right resistance between the leads so i dunno... ne suggestions? any other ways to find out if it is the rod bearings for sure without me risking totally spinning a bearing?
