Warning lights

I'll take a guess.

Because the battery light came on... I would suspect an electrical gremlin. If it were me I'd check the battery posts... and grounds connection.

Just because you have sufficient oil doesn't mean there isn't something up with the oil pump. I'm not qualified to suggest any advice on that.

I don't know if a "scan" would reveal a faulty/bad oil pump. How's your drive belt?

In the meantime, and absent a sharper mind's input... and if it were me... I wouldn't be starting it, let alone driving it.

Alright... I'm waiting for sharper minds to chime in (so I can learn something new).

Best wishes.

Thanks, the drive belt was new last fall. Drove fine today. The car had been sitting for 10 days or so. I was thinking a ground too, but I will check the battery connections too. Last I checked they were tight.

The battery is 2 years old. I only put about 2500 miles on in a year. When not in regular use, I use a battery tender.

Battery connections are good, plus the ground. No more lights. Ran it hard setting up autocross today. Everything was fine. Still a mystery.
