Well, you probably broke it. When you see the oil light on, it's trying to tell you something. Something like "get me checked out and repaired or you'll kill me". The lights are not for your entertainment, they're for your education.

That is the first thing i would suggest you do. Replace all the spark plugs and the plug wires. Those 2 things are the most commen thing that cause misfires.

Have your spark plugs and wires replaced::)
SOURCE: Where is the oil pressure sensor located on a 2003
There are 2 small passages with square headed type socket screws . Look
on drivers side of block behind where the breather hose goes to the
airbox. You'll need to remove the airbox. They are slightly smaller
than a 1/4" drive extension.
It is very hard to try to reach the sensor from under the car. you can removed the battery, air box, also moved the fuse box
aside just a bit to get more room to work (not necessary though). After
removing/moving those parts you'll have plenty of room to work with. Simply
disconnect the electric connection and remove the sensor with a socket.
The part was $11.99 at Kragen with a lifetime warranty! (not just a
dealer only item :]) The socket isn't a special socket its just a 27mm
($9.99) deepwell. I hope this helps someone, overall the job wasn't hard
so no need to pay anyone to do it for you!
If your arms are long enough, you can access it top passenger side and
reach way down and you won't have to remove anything! Its good to
put her up on ramps to get and idea where it is, then take her off and
do the repair. Forgot to mention unlocking the electrical
connection by pushing the slide lock to the side.
Good luck and hope this help and keep me posted.
