So, today I was messing around under my hood and noticed that the wire running to my oil pressure sensor plug was disconnected. I took the plug off the sensor and checked it out to see if the wire can be re-attached. Doesn't look like it. Anyone ever had to buy one of these? No one seems to carry the plug itself. I think Autozone and other places need to start carrying these things 'cuz as our cars get older, that plastic gets brittle.

If you notice theres a tiny hole on the end of the prong coming out of the knock sensor itself. Just strip the sensor wire and needle it through the holand tape it. You'll be set.

or you can simply go to a salvage yard and pull that plug with about 6 inches of wire and pocket it. then you just splice it right in.

I'll try #1 and then #2 if to no avail. It's pretty brittle.
Thanks, guys. |

I've got them here too, if #2 fails.

I used a Dremel Tool to take out the left over wire in the plug itself and re-threaded it. Clipped it back on and it works like a charm. I'd like to replace it with a few other aging plugs but it's a good fix for now.
