whats your oil pressure at? sometimes it will blink if there is too much clearance with your rod bearings or mains.

could have blown the sending unit out. when mine backed off the threads a little bit i had a somewhat similar problem. Might want to check to see if the connector is plugged in and also that its torqued down pretty tight.

i hope thats what it is cuz i been doing a lil more searching and i hope my rod bearings didn't go to shit...i did hear something hit underneath my car when i was boosting about 9-10lbs.i figured it was road debree..i will check that out but i'm getting a lil worried cuz i just got my motor rebuilt like 8 monthes ago with the howell long rod kit..
