Quick Question

[LastSVXintheChi]

Will changing my "oil pressure sending unit" help stabilize my idle?

cus it only has issues in warm weather...when its below zero it runs like a champ but in warm weather when the oil is thin it runs like crap at idle at speed its fine.

probably not. coolant temp sensor would be more likely to help.

Agreed. 123

Is that as easy as the later or do I have to take it in?

[92snowmachine]

it's easy. it's on the coolant crossover pipe that runs under the intake manifold. look at the driver side where it is no longer under the manifold. there are two, one for the gauge and one for ecu. don't remember which is which but they are cheap enough to replace both, or wait for someone with a better memory to chime in.

the 2 wire sensor that uses a 19mm deep well to replace is the one to replace.
I've only seen one gauge sensor go bad.

All I remember is that the brown one is the one that goes to the ECU. The gauge one isn't worth changing, IMO. I got one from rock auto that I haven't changed yet.

Are they the same part or 2 different ones? So it sounds like I dont have to take anything off.to get to it....

[92snowmachine]

different parts and don't have to take anything apart, just have the new one ready to stick in and do it on a cold engine so you don't lose coolant.

Sweetness!

Make sure that you change it when the engine is cold, and IF it has or NEEDS a copper O-ring.
