Actually I meant oil temperature switch. I thought it was by the dipstick between the 6 and 8 sparkplug but i think that is the knock sensor.... any help ???? :crazy:

Drivers side of distributor. Mine makes a T and has two sensors on it. One was the oil pressure and I think the other may have been oil temp.

Well if you mean the oil temperature sensor that is above the oil filter.

Oil pressure switch and oil pressure sensor are behind the engine near the distrubutor.

:D

What Pete said. The larger sensor behind the distributor is oil pressure. The other is a safety switch which will kill the engine if the oil pressure gets too low.

You know, I can't find a thing in the manual that says that oil pressure switch does anything except back up the fuel pump relay! I don't think it will stop the engine with 0 oil pressure.
