Oil Pressure light on

hey guys so i got everything fixed by SE but i got one more hoping little problem to figure out now. so when i go out on a long drive we'll say like a 3 hour straigh drive i notice when im at complete stop or parked with the car on the oil pressure light lightly turns on (i say again lightly turns enough to see it) and i notice my car is idling at 800 rpm but when i keep its at like 900- 1000rpm it goes away.

any ideas?
my oil is good its right between the lines, im thinking its the sensor. so any helpful ideas what it maybe?

Note: i have notice when i 1st started to drive a manual car the light turns on because i'm not getting enough gas when i'm trying to evening out on the clutch and gas pedal? can that be the reason as well? not getting enough fuel (i did recently upgrade my 8 turbo to a 9)

You probably just need to bump your idle up a little bit.. Some cars after you put cams in tend to dip lower than they should and will trigger the light. If something is wrong, once the light comes on, it'll stay on.

Cheers!

its just the sensor. you can pick it up at autozone for cheap. I had the same problem and it was an easy fix
