ED, I believe the oil pressure light is a separate problem. Here is how I would proceed to test that theory. Turn on the ignition but do not start the car. Unplug the oil pressure sensor. Have someone time how long it takes for the light to go out. If the duration is the same there is a problem in the warning circuit.

Good Luck, Ken
