    Check the wire that goes from your oil sending unit[r/side motor]. It goes down around the front of the engine and up to the wiring harness[l/side]. If the insulation has deteriated or has exposed wire it could be going to ground and causing the light to flicker[you'll need to get under the car also]. The rich problem sounds like a bad vaccuum leak, check all your hoses[take your time] and also make sure the intake manifold is snug. Also read about the infamous wiring harness problems.
