Oil light on, CEL P1259
First post on here, bought my first s2k about a month with 140k miles did an oil change second day i had the car changed the TCT, changed pressure siwtch that is next to the oil filter also, after a few days i noticed the oil light flickering off and on when i come to a stop light but once i give it some gas it goes away. Car was parked for a while bought it off a guy in the navy so it just sat there. Any help on this would be much appreciated

Not a good sign. A flickering oil light usually means your bearings are shot. I would get your oil pressure tested right away. Don't drive it until you figure out the problem.
It's also possible you have a problem with your oil pump, but there have been lots of members with worn bearings that had to either rebuild their engine or get a new one. Do a search.

Alright sounds good, also gonna do a pressure test before anything gets pulled off the car just for ease of mind

This doesn't always mean you're in the clear. If the mains are shredded, about the only symptoms will be a little extra vibration, but it'll run just fine. The pieces could be too big to get past the pump and up to the screen.

You'll see a ton of brass looking metal flakes. Unless of course the previous owner cleaned it out and such ahead of time to try and ditch the car quick, but I don't see him going through the hassle of removing the pan and such. Even just one or two flakes will confirm our suspicions. Many other flakes could've come out when you did your oil change, and possibly when he did others in the past as well.
