My oil light is coming on at low rpm, if I rev the engine above 2000 rpm it goes off, oil level is full.
(I regularly change oil & filter, every 2 - 3000 miles)
Is it the oil pump? How do I check it? Or could just be faulty oil sensor?

Hey Greg,
A quick and easy way to check that is to inspect the oil pressure sensor for leakage, be sure to check the connector too as they where prone to failure. Replace the OPS if any oil is noted. Hope this helps!
