If you don't believe that your idle is irregular and lower than normal, you may want to check the oil level. The indicator is for low oil pressure which can happen when the engine is about to stall or if the oil level is low.

SOURCE: check oil light comes on at a stop and while idling

this is a light that indicates low oil pressure or low level, 1st check the oil level in the engine when it is hot, if that is ok you will need to have the oil oil pressure tested with a specail mechanical test gauge, don't wait on this, low engine oil pressure or level can quickly lead to engine failure, have a shop check this ASAP if level is ok and light still comes on.

when the thermostat in a beetle goes, it stays in the open position, so it could be you blue light is indicating a "cold system",change the thermostat.
the oil light will come on if low on oil or you have a low pressure,try using 10/40 semi synthetic oil.and mloyslip.if no improvement you will need to renew the oil pump.

SOURCE: 2002 chrysler concorde lx low idle

with a 2002 Concord 3.5 V-6, what should the rpm be at 60mph? 70 mph?

I'm not sure if the overdrive gear is lost in the tranny, but the transmission light is on.

Thanks

After Service when you drive and slow down to stop when refs fall under 1000 rpm the oil warning light come on. When driving light goes off stay off

The chance is good that the oil was replace with thin oil. If the car idles lower than it did before the service it can also be the cause and need to be adjusted to higher rpm. No immediate damage to the engine forseen but need to be rectified asp especially if the car is going to idle frequently or for extended periods.

Why is my engine slowing down and rpm dropping

It is impossible to provide a proposed answer to your question without knowing the YEAR and MODEL of your vehicle.
That being said, your OIL light indicates either a deficiency of oil in the crankcase or an oil condition or delivery issue.

Blue thermostat light comes on after driving for 5 miles or so and stays on; after driving for 20 miles or so on occasion the oil pressure light comes on when car slows down and is idling.

when the thermostat in a beetle goes, it stays in the open position, so it could be you blue light is indicating a "cold system",change the thermostat.
the oil light will come on if low on oil or you have a low pressure,try using 10/40 semi synthetic oil.and mloyslip.if no improvement you will need to renew the oil pump.

2004 chrysler sebring idle speed is too slow. HOw

why do you want your rpms higher while idling? you don't want them high because your gas bill will reflect that. slow shouldn't matter but if it's dying while on idle it could either be your mass air flow sensor or your fuel filter being clogged

Car wont start

when you press the brake pedal the brake master cylinder vacuum booster takes vacuum away from the engine and that slows the idle speed just enough to trigger the low pressure oil light. Pull the oil pressure sending unit out and hook up an oil pressure test gage, if the pressure is above 15 PSI hot engine idle in drive replace the oil pressure sending unit.
