According to CAPS it is the same part for every 3S.

Thanks Steve

The only way to access the sensor is from underneath the car or remove the panels. It looks real simple with the panels missing, but with them in place you can't see what is shown in that picture, It looks simple without the panels but I'm sure they serve a purpose. All I can see is the axle coming out of a slot in the panel, cannot see into the engine compartment at all.

If you have a busted CV boot the grease can cause the gauge to drop to zero. Pull the connector off wipe clean and should work. Not really high tech or anything, but I figured i'd add some input in a problem I had once...

Thanks for the tip! My oil pressure gauge hasn't worked for a while, so I looked down there and, sure enough, the wire was hanging off. I stuck it back on and it works like a charm. Thanks a lot!

any of you guys know if this is different for JDM engines?

hey my gauge is working but my light is on. sure the gauge is crap but it is in the "good" range and fluctuates with the revs. i also have oil too. im guessing the sender has a problem since i have put 150 miles on the car with no spun bearings. i cleaned the sender but maybe its bad?

[quote=JoshAnker]So this is a common problem with our cars... The oil LIGHT in the dash isn't on.

Thanks for the pictures and the Tip!

My gauge has come unplugged, however I can't find where to plug it in, are there 2 prongs? one on each side. There is a piece of metal where the light is plugged in but there is no place for the gauge, did it break off? if I am just stupid can someone post pics on where it goes? Thanks.

I know this is an old Thread, but could someone help me with this. My stock gauge was reading very high. Then a couple of days, it started dropping very slow to the very bottom. I would repeat this when I got in the car to go somewhere. I looked down there, and of course I have a busted boot. So, I pulled the plug off wiped it clean and stuck it back on.

Will any aftermarket gauge do?
Do I need to replace factor sensor as well?
What kind of aftermarket sensor will fit?

Thanks
