I just chnged the camshaft seal in a 96 Accord with a 2.2 Now the oil light stays on till you rev the engine a few times.Once the light goes out it stays out until the car is shut off for ten minutes,then the problem comes back.Any thoughts?

A suggestion for which I expect to be roasted: replace the oil pressure
sender on general principles.

My reasoning is that either the pressure is good or it is bad. If the
pressure is good and the light is coming on, the sender is bad. If the
pressure is bad... well, an 11 year old sender is worth replacing anyway.
Replacing the sender costs about as much as checking the oil pressure and
tells you most of what an oil pressure measurement will.

I'm thinking you are the victim of odd circumstance... I can't think of any
reason for the oil pressure to act up after you changed the camshaft seal as
long as oil isn't pouring out.

Surely it's low oil pressure initally...but it shouldn't be related at all to changing that seal.
Has the oil been changed reguarly in this car? How about lately?
If not change oil&filter, and while you're down there check the bottom of the oil pan for dents! The oil pickup in these are located very low and if the pan gets dented even slightly it can block the pickup, resulting in low pressure.
It also could be that the screen is just clogged with sludge from not changing oil reguarly.
Lastly, could be the oil pump itself wearing out...although it's rare to have happen. I've been working exclusively on Honda Accords for the past 12 years and haven't seen a bad oil pump yet, but wouldn't rule it out.
