I need to replace my oil pressure sensor and when I did a search there was a lot of good information.
There was one post though that spoke of someone having a template to make the cut under the wiper cowl the get to the sensor. Does this ring a bell for anyone? This seems to be the easiest of the DIY fixes for this problem. If anyone knows of this template, PLEASE chime in.
thanks

I would do the extra work of removing the intake, but I guess you didn't ask for opinions.

Thanks and credit goes to C4B4the04 for the following post:Here's the template I promised some folks, maybe others can use it too.
To use this: Cut along the line that says "align with weatherstrip edge" all the way left to right. Then sort of massage the paper in around the wiper trough, lining the small hole up with the center clip hole on the firewall (where you took the plastic pop rivet out).
I used a thin wall Sears deep 6 point 1/2 inch drive socket 1 1/16" (part number 50756) and it dropped right down in the hole I cut (used a hole saw from a door lock set I had lying around).
Hope that helps. I used a 45 degree bent long nose pliers to pop the electrical clip off. No problems of yet, replaced it in Dec. 08.
