My oil light comes on intermittently, usually only when I am stopped, but not all the time. I figured it's warning me my pump is about to go out. I want to replace this myself but I'm not sure where it is located.
Thanks.
Oil light that comes on while in idle means the oil pump screen is clogged or damaged, cause low oil pressure to the engine. That part is only $30. It could be a bad oil pump though, if that is the case the pump can run you $100. Either way you need to get it fixed ASAP it can cause major damage to the engine in a very short period of time!

What would the problem be if my 2004 dodge neon suddenly loses power and at the same time the oil light comes on, the the vehicle comes to a complete stop?

Check the oil sending unit. My or did the same thing.

There's a little over 106,000 miles and it's the 2.0L SFI SOHC. Yes, I have not only checked the oil level but I changed the oil too. The light was coming on before I changed the oil. I've run an oil cleaner through to see if that would clean things up. The light still comes on occasionally when I am at a light or stopped. I figured I would change the oil pressure switch next.
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Mine has the same engine with 78,000 miles on it.
Where is the oil sending unit located on a 2003 Neon with a 2.0L?

My car had the oil light to come on when I slowed down or stoped now it stays on and when it does goes off it comes right back on.
I have a 2003 Dodge Neon and my oil pressure light keeps coming on when I stop, but now it is coming on more frequently. Usually only stops when I'm accelerating. I've never heard of an oil cleaner. I might try that. Moneys tight, so my last choice is to change out the oil pump. Any more suggestions?
hello,
i have a 2000 neon without oil pressure.where is the oil pump located?i cant find it in the oilpan.
Whoa ! lets not get too carried away here unless you have an urge to tinker & spend money. Not too often oil pump problem for this, unless there's something you haven't told us yet. What engine & how many miles/or KM. on it? You did check oil level right?
