Re: Bogus (?) Oil warning

["Phillip H. Slaughter" <phs4589@jackson.freenet.org>]

my 86 coupe gt does the same thing, but only stops if i drop below 2k 
rpm or push in the clutch.  i always check the oil, but it is ok.  i 
suspect the low pressure oil sensor is the problem (vs the high pressure 
oil sensor of which there is one also).
check this out!
