Oil Pressure problem

The car in question is an 86 900T with 210,000 miles. It is a fine runner but has suddenly developed a strange oil pressure problem. Behavior until a couple of weeks ago was totally normal. Light would come on then go off immediately upon startup. No flickers at idle or other strange behavior. The car sat for a couple of weeks. I started it and the light stayed on. I let it run for a minute or so until I heard a little top end noise and shut it off. I checked the oil level and it was right at the MAX mark. I started the car and decided to take a short drive to the end of the street. Within 100 yards the light went off so I continued driving for about 15 minutes. I went to the store and on a restart the light was back on again. Within 100 yards it was off and it ran fine. The next day I changed the oil after running the car only long enough to drive up my ramps. The oil filter was not full when I removed it. Following the oil change I drove the car several days and the condition remains. The light comes on for about the first 100 yards and then goes off for the remainder of the drive yet will come back on after a restart. You can also hear an audible change in the sound of the engine when the light goes off. Does it sound like the oil pressure relief valve could be stuck? I don't understand why it doesn't happen at idle after the light has gone off. Anyone have any idea what might be going on????
