OK
I don't have the receipt in front of me
But they said they replaced the oil pressure switch....
does that like uh, fit in here anywhere?
and again, it'* not pegged at 120
it fluctuates, at idle its down by 40-- varies by engine speed

okay...
so... what does that do... what is the difference between the switch and the sensor...?
wait
ok,, so if the switch is inside the pan, or whatever, that measures the amount of oil, and the sensor measures the pressure (tada)
in the front of the pan... does that mean inside the pan... how would I have broken that... unless the guy meant sensor...

Oh, and remember...this is a 02+ motor!

the switch gives the low oil light on the cluster
the Series 2 motor is the same 96-05
