Fibbing oil light, Silly thing wont go out! Options

[nitrate]

Hi all,

Just got myself a new old celica. Really nice drive with plenty of power. However as with all used cars there are a number of little things that need sorting. The one i am struggling with at the mo is the oil level light on the dash, it lights up as soon as the car moves from starting. It rarely goes out. It is not the oil pressure, but the oil level. I think this must be a faulty sender or duff connector as the oil level is correctly topped up with 10/30W oil. Anyone had anything similar? Also does anyone know the location of the oil level sender so i can check the plug contacts for fouling as i gather it will be under the car somwere. The car in question is a 94 generation6 celica GT, UK spec totaly standard, no mods. Engine is a 3S-GE 170ish bhp , dash type 180MPH 9K RPM. Sunroof, Hatchback. Also how do you stop the ABS light coming on? Does it indicate worn pads? as i think they are low.

Cheers,
Leigh.P

as in the above post, the hole is for a sensor, i also think its for a EFM sensor
there should be a electrical connector attached with a `cone shaped plug` which goes
into the filter inside the box, cant see why yours doesnt have one, also could be the
reason your haveing problems with the idle, as when you give it some throttle, the car
is not registering the air-flow properly,
