ok my oil pressure was fine then I did a heater grid delete and took the stock fuel filter off now I don’t have any oil pressure is there anything I could have hit to cause that and mu check engine light came on I’m assume its cus the sensors to the stock fuel filter is gone how do I fix this?

 

Your oil pressure sensor most likely has gotten hit, Failed or unpluged. If not, your PCM could be acting up! The sensor is to the rear of the engine, If you look at the back of the ecm , It'll be right behind and below the ecm!

 

Ok the sending unit was still plugged in but there was fuel all over it would that cause it and other than a mechanical gauge is there any way to check that I have oil pressure?

cus theres not a parts house for 20 miles and if the ecm was actin up wouldnt it run bad, it runs like a champ

 

No, It would be the PCM which controls ICP (instrument control panel), If it's got a bad ground or has failed it can also cause the gauge to fail!

 

no a manuel guage is the only way or if you can get your hands on a scanner

 

does anybody know what size socket it takes to remove the sensor

Ok haven’t got the old sensor off yet got check with a mechanical gauge how common are oil pump failures in the 24 valve any tips on how to get the sensor off

 

Most oil pressure senders take a special socket to remove. I think it is somewhere in the range of 1 1/16 inch but it has rounded corners and a normal socket won't grip it right. Sounds like you are 40 and plum like me. 40 miles out and plum in the middle of nowhere. The sender in our 92 went bad on a delivery in Key west and I used a whip hose for a grease gun and a cheep mechanical gauge to test it.

 

#22 in the pic. Most likely you hit it. My gauge doesn't work either. Sits at 102psi or 50psi.

 

Thanks for all u guys help it was the sensor and boy are they high got to get one tomorow

hey by the way i have a small boost leak im tryin to hunt down its not to terrable if i drive it is it?

 

As long as its a small one and you've still got some boost you should be fine. You do run a pyro correct?
