Well keep your fingers crossed and hope its related to the sensor or its wiring and not the engine

I changed the oil and cut open the oil filter, just straight oil.... no metal shavings of any sort.... Good sign... Will not drive..... I don't really think it has to do with the flash.... But after this problem.... The car feels sluggish.... Like stock.... not like after you flashed it... you think i need a flash.... and what do you think the dealers would void my warrenty on car??? got 6,000 miles left til the warrenty is OVER....

Like Al said, I definately would not drive the car until you know what's going on. It seems like a pain to be checking the pressure switch and everything, but in the end it could save your engine. If you're really not very good at working on cars, just take it to the dealer.

Duhh..fitch I told you that it wasnt Al's Flash. If it was Als flash, it would of happen in Schaumburg while Tuning or on the way home...But it happen at HOME....I think your car is just MESSED UP before from the previous OWNER! I dont know why he sold you the car and didnt tell you what he did to the car like the FLASH that was previous done before you bought it. Thats why Ill never buy a USED CAR unless its a LUXURY Car!!!

Found out what the problem was........... I had a Craftman 17mm, that fell in and was sitting on top of my oil pressure switch... It was touching the tip of the oil pressure switch where the metal sticks out of the plug... And i guess it grounded itself there when it fell there.... So it sent a weak signal to the ecu and that where i got the flickering oil light.... Car runs FINE NOW... Now the boost LEAK.... TOO BE CONTINUED..........
