I have an 03 OZ and recently my oil light started to come on, but when I drive the light is off, comes on only when the engine is idling while stoped and if I step on the accel pedal it goes off as the RPMs rise. Have my oil changed the next day after it started happening, even unhooked my battery cables to reset the ecu, but it came back on. Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. by the way I greatly enjoy driving a lancer, coolest small sedan ever!

 

could be a bad oil pressure sensor.

 

 

thanks much I will go get that checked out ASAP...

 

thanks

 

you can either try to clean it, or just get a brand new one.
I think it was less than 30$ when I changed mine, and about 5 minutes to swap.

 

i had the exact same thing this summer....hello oil sensor...not expensive though...simple job

 

Yep. It's the oil pressure sensor. See the attached diagram for location. The diagram view is from the rear of the engine.

 

oil sensor!!!!! same thing happened to my evo, i was $hi++ing bricks. ITs like $15 max, change it and let the car run for 5 min, if the light doesnt turn off, turn off the car for 10 minutes and then start her back up again.

 

seems like everyone thinks its the same thing...thanks for lookin out fellow "lancers"
