I had this problem with an 87 8 valve.
Warm up the engine. Get a pan and drain the oil. The pan must be CLEAN. Let it sit for an hour or so then carefully pour out the oil and look for metal shavings. If you've got shavings, then you might have a piece of metal caught in the oil pressure relief valve. That's what happened to me.
I cleaned out the shavings and the problem went away.
However, I must say this oil light was constant not intermittant. It also had a problem with the chain tensioner for the main drive chain. The metal shavings plugged up the hydraulic tensioner and the result was jerkiness in the drivig at low speeds. Really wierd.
You're problem might be a loose wire or the transducer. Have you thought of changine the oil pressure sender unit.
