oil pressure light, low idle? 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Fri Dec 1 09:04 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have an 82 with B21 and LH1 injection. When the car is warm, the oil pressure light comes on at idle. While driving the light never comes on until I come to a stop and then stays steady or blinks while at idle. If I keep my foot on the accelerator and up the RPM's slightly, the light goes out. The idle seems low and was wondering if there is a way to incrase the idle or does the LH control the speed.

I've even tried higher viscosity oil to increase the pressure but the results are the same.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks
