Default HELP wierd startup

When i start my car at any time of the day or weather it starts REALLY fast. i mean like i turn the key for a half a second and its started.
then it seems like its gonna die for a second and the oil light blinks fast as hell then shuts off.
im fine on oil and everything.

The oil light is blinking on merely because the engine is about to stall -- thus the oil pump is turning real slow. It should quit doing that when you fix the idle speed.
