Sounds like the Oil Pressure Sensor. Shut the engine off and turn key on. If it shows oil press w/eng off, its the sensor. Located at rear of eng, behind intake maniforld. Search this forum for write ups and pics. HTH

I first bought my car that was something i told the dealership to fix, they changed the sensor, and it turned up being the instrument cluster shorted out. Good luck on removing the intake. I gotta do a knock sensor on my c5.

If it turns out to be sensor think about remote sensor.
See thread on oil pressure sensors. It is a little more initial work but will save you from having to pull intake manifold when sensor goes bad again.
