I have a 1987 6.9 and the check engine light comeson when idling but soon as you give it throttle the light goes away.any ideas or help would be appreciated!
Previous owner removed the oil sensor to install a mechanical gauge. I guess the lead for the sensor is just hanging because the oil pressure fluctuates rapidly like it's bouncing off the engine or something while it's running. When it drops to 0 PSI (low) the check engine light flickers.
I'd suggest checking your oil pressure sending unit. It is possible you just have no oil pressure at idle.
