Here's a Picture Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Wed, 27 Jul 2005 08:21:59 In Reply to: Is this it?, buckmath, Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:05:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
On my 1994 car, the wire to the oil pressure switch is a single standard thin-gauge wire running through a plastic protective sleeve, flat lug disconnect. I do not recall a turbo oil line that runs anywhere near this switch, but if you have an earlier car with the filter on the back of the engine, it's possible. It was very easy to remove and replace with the proper length socket extension and correct size deep-well socket - just have to reach in from behind and do it with limited vision looking through the intake manifold. Do not need (or want) to take off the oil filler tube, they get brittle over time. See picture, below. Obviously, you do not see the threaded side when it is installed. Part is $4 at Eeuroparts.
There are other sensors behind the engine, i.e. the knock sensor, so perhaps we are not talking about the same thing. However, the knock sensor does not hold pressurized oil, so the oil pressure switch would be my first guess - without actually seeing it.
