New Issue Emerges
Hello!
I'm fairly new to rx8club so it won't let me post this anywhere else. Also, ive tried searching for this issue and I've found very little information on the subject.
My car is a series 2 2009 RX8 Touring with a 6MT
I deleted the air pump for the cat and about a week later, my oil level light started blinking. Naturally I started freaking out, so I pulled over to the nearest parking lot and checked my oil level. It was almost to the top dot on the dipstick. So then, I hooked up my handy code reader and checked the codes. I had a couple for O2 sensors (cat delete) and a couple for the air pump. I cleared the codes and the light was no longer coming on and blinking. I thought I was in the clear. Until a week later (yesterday). I was driving home from work and the light started flashing again! I got the car home and looked over a few things and found nothing out of the ordinary. I cleared the codes again (same codes) and now the light is gone again... Now after watching some videos, I noticed that the series 1 Baro sensor is very different than, what I think, is the Baro sensor on the series 2. It looks more like a heatsink. I cant find any info on this part. Would this cause this blinking low oil light? I have no idea where to even begin. This car is so confusing sometimes, haha. So any help with the situation would be very appreciated. Thank you!

The oil light has more to do with oil pressure and eMOPs than the baro. Are you losing oil anywhere?
Any damaged wiring while you were taking stuff out?
On the series 1's there's a somewhat known issue with oil level sensors giving false low readings and setting off the level (not pressure) light. I have no heard of that happening on s2's, but could be?
