Default Help! oil pressure gage problems

my oil pressure gage is pegged high and the DIC reads 129 psi constantly . I was told it was either a bad sensor or it came unplugged. How ever I cant seen to find where it plugs in to?
Any help is greatly appreciated

The sensor screws in to the block behind the intake manifold. You have to unbolt the manifold and slide it forward to get to it. Evil Twin has a great write up in the tech tips that I used to replace mine.

Use E-T's Tech Tip.

Here's where it's at but you don't need to pull everything off I did - just the intake.
