The light is flashing because the oil pressure is either to low or the sensor is going out. I would have it checked. Too low of oil pressure will hurt the engine. The idle is supposed to be under 1000 but above 650 and generally about 750. Have the pressure sensor checked and see if there is a connect between that and the problem with the idle.
