Sensor Question

What is the sensor circled in red, and what does it do? It's barley hanging on by a thread.

I'm just trying to figure out if this is related to my oil psi reading max pressure.

It is the oil level sensor. I broke mine during the engine repl and had to get a new one, then burnt the wire during 1st break in and had to splice.

This condition is a result of the oil pressure sensor failing...a very common problem with the LS1/LS6. Unfortunately, the sensor is located on the top of the engine block immediately behind the intake manifold which requires removal. Many, many threads on this subject and a few solutions to ease the recurring repair many of us have experienced.

Here is a link that demonstrates with pics the removal procedure:

You can gain access without removing the intake manifold - link below -

If you do this you MUST reseal the hole in the cowl to prevent fumes entering the cabin.

Removing the intake is not all that difficult but some would rather not.
