Default oil sensor

My oil sensor is pegged out, and now it started going back and forth but just when I hit the gas after driving for awhile it goes to 0 the when I back off the gas it goes back to 130?

It is common, you have time to look for your options, such as take it to a shop, do it your self, relocate, drill a hole under the windshield wiper (forgot exactly what the area is called).

good luck.

PS, I just replaced mine about a month ago, takes 2-3 hours. Hard on the back though.

You are a stud. Cobra4b and I removed the manifold to replace my oil senser yesterday and it took us at least two hours (no air tools).
