Just Been Out For A Drive And Noticed That The Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light Is Blinking On And Off When The Engine Is Idling. Soon As I Rev Up, Light Goes Off. Car Is A 2000 Boxster With 54,000 Miles. Anybody Had This Problem ?

If it's the Oil Display which is blinking, this too indicates a low Oil levelif the MIN bar is flashing. If the entire display is flashing, it indicates a fault in the Oil level detection system such as a short to ground, loose connector or broken wire.

If the Oil level checks out OK, then you may have issues with the Oil Pump. Hope this helps...
