well most of the time a pressure switch wont mess up but it can, so lets hope its the switch.but if its not the switch its either the ecu- wireing -or not enough oil pressure for the pressure switch to read so you oil pump is getting weak..check the screen in the selnoid also to see if its clean

hey if its a jdm type r you wont have a vtec oil pressure switch so if your using a usdm ecu then its going to be looking for a pressure reading you can bypass that pressure plug to your selinoid its self to ge a reading and trick the ecu thats if your running the usdm ecu on a jdm motor
