well first off i just bought a 1991 acura integra rs
i have searched the threads for this problem and i think i might have found it but i wanna double check.
Well my first problem is my temp guage when i let it idle for 10 mins it warms up and the guage works and comes up. After i drive it the temp guage will go down to where it was when it was cold, and also the rpms would idle up to 1500, once it the gauge comes up the idle will go down again. Thermostat??

also my other problem is my oil pressure light will come on and start blinking after about 1 min. I though tmaybe there was some sludge in the engine so i took a litre of oil out and put some atf in to clean it up, after i changed the oil and filter, i also no its gettin oil to the valve train cuz i can see oil getting pumped up there when i remove the oil filler cap.

any ideas?

You guess for the first problem is correct.

As for your second problem, your oil pump may be going out or something could be clogging it. You might have too much oil in your motor.
 
The oil indicator light goes off when the pressure is too low. Oil level doesn't directly set it off.
