im sure you did this, how is the level of the oil with the dip stick?
Before you post, you should do the basics.
1. Check oil level and report finding
2. Give specs on car (year, mileage, mods, etc.)
3. Detail (as much as possible) the problem (what, when, frequency, etc.)
4. Give maintenance history of items applicable to problem (last oil change, etc.)

I agree with pgilliam1, after doing that and you don't find anything unusual, find the engine oil filter, it's on the passenger side of the engine behind the right rear tire. On the oil filter housing, above the filter, is the oil pressure SWITCH. It is the only thing on the filter housing that has a single wire running to it. This is what actuates the "Oil Press" caution warning light. Make sure the wire is connected to the switch secure. If it is, there is a good chance that the pressure switch is malfunctioning. That switch isn't very expensive and is quite easy to replace. Some oil will leak out when you remove it. Start with a COLD engine. One wrap of Teflon tape on the threads of the pressure switch, make sure not to get the tape over the end of the switch. Don't over tighten it, just good and snug on both the switch and the nut that holds the wire on. If it is dirty around the switch flush it clean with brake parts cleaner before you remove it. See if that fixes your problem.

Hi there,
Its a 1992 nsx have 100xxxmiles on it ( just pick it up one month ago)
new engine oil change two weeks ago, replace timing belt, water pump, coolant. No engine check light on, the oil pressure gauge works, cool start at about 3-4, normel idle about at 2.
I have check the eninge oil level its find between two dot, check oil pressure switch wire no loss wire or cut.
The light will flashes when at normel temp, when cool start its dont do. How can check if the oil pressure switch its bad?
Thanks

Just replace the switch. They are only about $20 at most auto parts places.
