out upon acceleration. 67000 mi, oil changed every 3 thousand miles. Any ideas on possible causes and cures? Bad Sender? Low idle? About 600 RPM on dash tach at idle. Prior to this ABS light was lit for one day.
Please help.

Try again, makes no sense to me

Oil light comes on flickering while waiting at traffic signals and then goes out after accelerating from the traffic signal. Flickers at idle, goes out while accelerating and maintaining speed. I was hoping it might be just a bad oil sender or maybe idling too low. I sure hope it is nothing more serious. Like bad oil pump or worse.
Any ideas?

Replace the oil sending unit and clean the connector really good. If the vehicle has been well maintained that should fix the problem, if not perform and oil pressure test.

Thanks for the assistance. My plan is to change the sender and the oil and then assess the situation. I just can't believe the situation could be any more serious than a sender but anything is possible. I had a well maintained '90 Plymouth Acclaim w/3.0L Mitsubishi engine with way less than 70,000 miles on it that smoked like a chimney so I know when it comes to Chrysler anything is possible. But I keep buying them anyway. Like father like son I guess.
Thanks Again
