does anyone know how to fix this? It only does it at low RPMs but it would feel like a rigged solution if i just raised the idle, right now its at like 6-7 hundred rpms

The oil pump is driven mechanically off the rotation of the engine. Oil pressure has absolutely nothing to do with the alternator or electrical system.
What 97ss said is right. The light only comes on when the oil pressure is below a certain level. If your oil pressure is below that level, even at idle, there is a problem. |
