- The oil light on my '86 Toyota Tercel comes on after a few minutes of
- starting the car in the morning or when it is cold. It comes on when I
- press the brakes and take my foot off the gas pedal. However, when I
- lightly press the gas pedal, the light goes away. Also, if I put the
- gear to N or P (it is an automatic transmission), the light either goes
- away or flickers. The problem goes away after I drive around for a while.
-
- Also, a light vibrating noise comes from the rear underside of the car
- (the muffler ?) when the engine is cold started. This noise also goes
- away when I press on the gas pedal. I have put a new muffler, but the
- noise still remains.
-
- Please advise on what is causing this and what needs to be done.
-
- Thanks.
