For the oil pressure, usea mechanical gauge and see if it does the same thing, it may be a sending unit or gauge itself. Cross A&B on the aldl with a paper clip turn the key on and see if the light blinks. If the combo is 12 then everything may be ok. But also check your crank sensor for ohms as this will go bad and not set acode. But dont' change it because of what i've said. If not you can go to the DIY section on the site and it will show you how to check your ignition system step by step.
