When i come to a stop or idle sometimes my engine oil pressure light blinks rapidly. If i press on the gas to go, the light turns off.

Check your oil level and condition. It could also be due to a failing oil pump or oil pressure switch. Have the oil pressure tested.

This coudl be something critical and should not be ignored as it can result in major damages to the engine if the oil pressure drops too much.
