Default Intermittent oil light

My oil light is coming on intermittently. There is no knocking, over-heating, leaks, or loss of power. I noticed it starting shortly after relacing my spark plugs and am guessing that i disturbed the oil pressure sensor or wiring during the process. Any info on where the sensor is located? Any other ideas?

Although the oil level was fine, I changed the oil and filter yesterday. (It was due soon anyhow)

I believe the oil pressure sensor is on the front cover low. Time for real oil pressure numbers. You don't want to find out you have a bad block the hard way.

You might want to search for oil pump VIN range, as it will walk you through the testing process and let you know how to hook up the pressure gauge and some of the problems with low oil pressure.

Above the oil filter on the block is the oil switch.
