Engine idle speed is controlled by the PCM which controls it via the idle air control motor. The oil light is a known problem with 2.7L engine (don't know what engine you have). Replacing the oil light switch is a cheap way to deal with the problem and might solve it. If not, you may have real oil pressure problems.
