Hey guys, Im recently having the problem Im seeing a couple people had with the oil pressure sending unit going bad. I got the part today from the dealership, searched the forum but have yet to find what I'm looking for. Where is this located? It seems the only pictures anyone has posted just mention it in how to set up a oil pressure guage. Could someone help me out and point it out in a pic or something? Just want to make sure Im going for the right part here. Thanks in advance, its much appreciated.

 

the oil pressure sending unit is on the back side of the head....below the intake manifold......It is towards the transmission side......It is very noticable...you have to get underneath the car in order to take it out.....should only take like 5 mins....

 

Thanks SSP, I appreciate it. I was reading about your car and your mods, congrats on an awesome RA, doin the n/a folks proud!

 

so your's is defective?

 

Yeah my RA is suffering from the oil light flickering at idle rpms after its warmed up, with the dimming headlights and all that. After looking around on here and talking to my friend Justin, seems as if that is the problem. I'll be tearing into it today after I get home from class and let you know for sure. I'm hoping that it is the problem, because if it is, it only cost me $20.12 for the new one.

 

Replaced it yesterday afternoon. Fixed and running good. Thanks for all who helped. Took alittle longer than 5 minutes, and Im envious of anyone who has smaller hands who can actually reach up under there to get to the thing haha. Once again EvoM saves the day and my wallet.

 

hm.. my idle drops up/down but no oil light. I'll keep an eye on it though, glad you fixed it.

 

i have had this happen a bit off and on ...but now seeing this I will look into the part 4 sure....

 

I am going to the track on Sat RalliLanceJ86....I am hoping to get into the 13's..... I am going to build a special NA motor for it that will be able to get me into the 12's......i just got a use my special skills and build a unique 4g69.....keep ya updated if ya want.....pm me if interested....
