Oil Pressure Sensor walkthrough?
Hi folks,
Looks like I have a bad oil pressure sensor in my '00 MN6 coupe. I'm thinking about trying to do this myself since it seems like a simple fix, but this will be the first time I've worked on the car.
I've seen the various threads on the forum with a picture here or there, or a few tips to do it, but haven't seen a complete walkthrough (pics, etc.) for someone that hasn't worked on the car before. Anyone have a step-by-step guide they could help me out with? I'm fairly mechanically-competent, and I can get whatever tools I need, I'm just looking for a bit more information then "under the intake".
Anyone want to help a newbie out?
Thanks,
-Mike

Here is how to swap manifolds, this should help you re-move the manifold so you can install the new sensor.

Thanks for the information, definitely useful. Anyone in the Atlanta area want to help me with this on Saturday or Sunday? I provide the tools, the help, the beer, and the dinner for anyone interested in giving me a hand with this.

The links help but make it look incredibly more difficult than it is. No major special tools needed (unless you have to un-do the fuel line), otherwise a straight up deal. Even no experience, can be done in a couple of hours .. all thumbs.
