burnside,
The oil pressure sending unit is located on the drivers side just forward of the oil filter. A replacement one is cheap, around $12 or so. Its easy to replace while you're changing the oil, with the filter off and the oil drained (not in that order, obviously... :eek: ). I woundn't hesitate to change it. If the light still flickers, check the wire that leads to it, all the way up to the dash. If if continues to flicker, ack! Get an external oil pressure gauge and pipe it into the port the oil pressure sender is threaded into and watch it while your engine is idling. If it is indeed low, make sure to get the car to a mechanic. Low oil pressue is no goodsky.
Good luck!
Mike
