Summary: Shortly after taking off, due to a false warning light, the captain idled one engine (contrary to the checklist) and assumed they had an engine problem and returned to the airport. While attempting to land, the aircraft rolled to the right, pitched up, stalled and crashed. Inadequate use of the flight controls during an asymmetric go-around resulting in loss of control. Contributing factors were insufficient understanding of the flightcrew of the SAAB 340B engine oil system, lack of awareness of the consequences of an aircraft configuration with one engine in flight idle and poor crew resource management.
