Oil Sending Unit - Please help
I have a 99 coupe and the oil pressure is pegged out.. when the car is off... also one of the headlights will not open.... well I ordered a headlight and as an afterthought, I ordered the oil pressure sensor as well..... question,,, where is this located and what is the best way to access it?
thanks
thanks

It is under the intake manifold. Do a search and there are plenty of step by step instructions to DIY. Mine is going in the shop tomorrow.

A forum member (pyro1) and I swapped mine out a few months ago. I have no mechanical ability whatsoever and we managed to get it done... From what I heard here on the forum it was like a $400 or $500 dollar job for a $30.00 part...
Easy fix though... Great instructions here on the forum...

Shouldn't take you more than an hour. When you are moving the intake forward MAKE SURE you don't drag it forward. Pick it up. There is a lot of sand and crap under it that you do not want to drag into the heads.
