annoying squeak...need part number ok, so my 98 formula has been making this horrible squeaking noise that increases with the rpms. We were trying to find the source of the noise and sprayed a little wd-40 on the crank pulley, which made the sound worse for a minute or so, then went back o the same shitty noise. So i'm guessing it needs replacing and i was wondering if anyone knows the part number. My oil pressure also fluctuates pretty sporadically and low at idle, so i'm thinking that its the oil pressure sending unit because the car runs perfectly fine, no knocking or anything. If I could get a part number for that too, thatd be great. Thanks!

The OPSU part number is 12559781 - make sure you get one for a '98, the '99-'02 sensors are different. You might find the other part number in the sticky for part numbers.

Hold it! Not so fast. Squeaking caused by defective oil pressure sending unit is quite a stretch.
First revome the main drive belt and start it up. If it's quiet, buy a new belt. 5 minute job. If it's still squeaking, remove the pullies and grease the ball bearings.

I'm not saying that the oil pressure sending unit is causing the squeaking...they are two seperate problems that need to be fixed. I need to replace the crank pulley because it squeaks, and the OPSU because im getting sporadic readings on my oil pressure gauge.
