Hey all...my oil presure sending unit sprung a leak...so much my car now is the Exon Valdez on 4 wheels (yah i gota add lots of oil, measure every time i drive :( )...well i have my mech go to the dealership since Myers/Autozone said dealer only item...135 bucks at mitsu dealership (should have i gone to dodge dealer?? think it would be the same??) when other vehicles i have had that changed on was way way way lower

Anyone??

you can always just plug the hole.. i think you can find a brass plug in a plumbing dept at a home depot or whats not.. i cant remember the size off-hand though..

3/8" NPT

Errrr....now why would i want to plug that hole??

just buy an after market oil pressure gauge, and use that sending unit to plug the hole.

well plugging the hole and not having an oil leak would be a good start... also cheaper than having to get a new sender which is only a switch to tell you when you have very low oil pressure which is when it triggers the light on the dash...

Well yah i know the Dash light activated by the OPSU is the "oh shit" light since once it comes on you are screwed

But i just had a weird thought....since we share the block with the 2.0 neon dohc ....should their Opsu fit? i think it would :thumbsup

BTW dohc neon OPSU is 6.99 at autozone...i should just buy and install

You'll have to match up the thread size and connector size. A switch from a '90s Dodge truck will work. I bought mine for $38 from Advance Auto. I broke my stock switch and couldn't find a replacement. So, I just found a switch that fit. I'd probably just plug the hole with a brass 3/8" NPT plug (use some teflon paste). The stock oil pressure switch is not very useful. You won't get a CEL if you plug the hole and toss the switch.

thats good to know, i nominate this for thigns we've seen before.

Horay...guys at neon website say the 1gen dohc neon one should be same size (we got same block duh =P )...at least it will plug it up...im just against not having the "oh shit" light come on hehehe }( }(

I got it now to put it in tomorrow

6.99 dollar one from Autozone worked....

So yah we do share the Thread size with the dohc neon sensor ours has 2 pins ..neon one just 1 but it worked just fine when tested ....btw my knock sensor was also loose =P not good...now dont know if my tunning vs knock was correct...gota redo it :(

I do not see a reason why you would get a CEL anyway since the OPSU is not something the ECU looks at. Al it does is switch current to the Dummy light in the dash.
