The light works off pressure and it's saying there is not enough pressure when it is in idle but when you bring the rpms up it forces the pump to work faster and causes your pressure to go up thus turning the light off. you probably have an oil pump going bad but a clogged oil filter can do this too. Recommend doing an oil and oil filter change then buy a can of seafoam motor treatment and put all of it into your oil. what it will do is break down any deposits that are built up. It's cheaper to try this than to jump straight to replacing an oil pump. The Seafoam is usually around $10 a can.

this is an oil pressure light, most likely the sending unit for the gauge is defective,but I do recommened a shop hook up a oil press test gauge and verify u do't really have low oil pressure, then if that tests ok replace the sending unit on the engine.

Are you getting any codes from the Check Engine Light? This sounds like it could have something to do with a sensor. Check your air filter and make sure it's clean. The tach on my 1999 doesn't really work, but it hasn't coincided with other driveability problems. The engine doesn't change in it's RPM's, the tachometer just stops working. Have your charging system checked. The shaking might be coming from bad fuel pump operation, clogged fuel filter, or dirty fuel injectors. Try putting an additive into your gastank to clean the injectors (a bottle of Seafoam is great for this). Try calling your local Autozone and see if they do free trouble code scanning. This might help lead you in a better direction.

Check the vacuum hoses, but sounds like the IAC or even the o2 sensors. The computer will pick up on the o2 sensors but not the IAC..Go to your local ADVANCE store and they will check on computer for free :)

You need a code scanner hooked up to it to find out why the light is on.
If there is an advanced auto or an autozone near you, go there and tell them the engine light is on, and you need a code retrieved. They don't charge for this, where other places do. Tales about a minute.
