Im having the same issue. Try replacing the oil pressure sending unit/switch and filter beneath it. I've put 2 new ones in and still have the same problem but it might help you. What rpm is it idling at?

Try changing the oil and filter. Use 5 quarts 5w 30 and 1 quart Lucas for high mileage oil additive. Seems to have been what mine needed and had same problem
