Where the Oil pressure sender is

[arclite20]

Does any body know where in the engine compartment the oil pressure sender is located in a 97 coolla.?

4A and 7A's have it behind the alternator.

really. i thought it was directly below the exhaust manifold and about an inch above the oil filter. doing an aftermrket oil press intall???

[arclite20]

Thats what i was thinking about doing

its real easy, just follow the instructions in the manual. if am not mistaken there should be only 2 wires one for ground and the other splices into the lightbulb light that luminates you insrument panel. only reason i haven't done mine is because i haven't found a right path to route the rubber tube back in the car without putting next to anything that will melt it. i mean amn its right there on the engine block, under the exhaust manifold, on the side of the alternator and right in front of the radiator

I have an mechanical autometer gauge with a copper line running into the car.

The alternator, manifold and oil filter are all roughly in the same area in my car.

I think that i might have to remove the oil filter to pull the stock sensor out because of the alternator. its in a tight spot. Did you have to take yours out lifeisviewtiful

not sure if its the same, but i had to take out the braket holding the alternator, a/c compressor and powersteering pump (4agze) to get to the sender. didn't have to take out the oil filter though.
