cold idle issue/oil light flicker

1990 Toyota I just bought 3.0 w/5speed..my truck starts up after about 15sec of cranking and runs fine for about 10 sec then idles down like its starting to run out of fuel.at the same time my oil light is flickering sporadically. When its warmed up it runs and idles fine and the oil light will only flick on when I rev it up in neutral. 100% sure its not blown head gasket.maybe a bad cold start injector and loose wires on the sending unit??

try adjusting your air flow sensor (you know the box that sits behind your airbox) and cleaning out your Idle air control valve and tbody.

Has it always done this since you bought it or did it just start?

Since I bought it and I went to start it this morning and it took me 20 minutes to start because it kept flooding out and dieing.once it got warm though it starts up fine.when I try to get on it while driving it hits like 3500-4000rpm(guessing cuz I have no tach) and starts cutting out like its flooding.but if I drive it conservatively it wont do it.any ideas I need it to be my daily driver.

Tried again to start it and it started right up(this is about 8 hours later)but it started slowly idling down like it was loading up..I took it down the road it did the same thing as I mentioned above but when I got back it idled fine but as soon as I shut it down and immediately started it back up it started idling down and loading up slowly.any ideas..seems like a bad cold start injector.
