When I have the A/C on, then push the clutch it to be in it neutral at a light, my rpm's drop below normal really quick and then come back up. When that happens, my light comes on for a second, then goes away.

BUT i def know that ever since I changed the filter, it does that alot when comming to a stop...I think I might just go back to stock box.
Same thing happens here. It's fine it just thinks it's going to stall since it dips really low. When your RPM's dip so low it flickers, cause it almost stalls. Nothing I'm worried about, as long as it doesn't show up while driving.

Long story short, I found the oil pressure sensor connector was corroded causing the light to come on. I replaced the connector and the sensor and less than $20 later problem solved. Good luck!
TY SIR YOU ARE MY SAVIOR
MY CAR DOES EXACTLY THAT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I AM STOPPED BUT ONCE I AM RUNNING IT GOES AWAY.
CAR RUNS AS IT SHOULD ILL LOOK INTO THE SENSOR THEN. THANKS A BUNCH.

Yeah, it never happened to me while driving. Only like I said, when comming to a stop light or sign.

Went back to OEM intake with drop in, still happy.

Nice Idea on the sensor-- may also consider running a high viscosity ( thicker) oil then what you currently put in since its summer and running a little warmer. The hotter the oil the thinner it gets, the less pressure it registers..if you are using 5-30, try a 5-40 or 10-40, that will get you fixed so you don't drop a few ibs of pressure at idle while warm.. This will do the trick.

Doesn't everyone have an external oil filter housing??? I have an evo 8 w/ the oil cooler. I looked under and there is nothing electrical by my oil filter or the housing.
