Michael;
        You have two oil pressure sensing switches.
The low pressure switch (4.4) must open between 2.2 and 6.5 psi.
It is located between cylinder 3 and 4
The other switch (13.1) must close between 10.9 and 14.8 psi.
It is in the vicinity of the oil pump.
The flashing LED is associated with the 4.4 sensor.
The flashing LED and the buzzer occur with RPM>2000 and no switch closure
from the 13.1 sensor.
        A loose connector in the engine compartment gave me the
LED/Buzzer symptom . Follow the wire from the 14.1 sensor back. On my 86
there is a connector in the vicinity of the thermostat tower that caused
the problem. I do not know if it is in he same place on  a 1.9L.

Drive Safely & Good Luck
