Default What sensor is this?

There is a sensor right behind the intake on the drivers side and its screwed into the block I believe. It only has one wire on the connector. Any clue what this is and what it takes to remove it? It's right beside another sensor that has a 10mm or so bolt holding it in.

Oil pressure sending unit is the black post that sticks up from the engine and the sensosor bolted in is the cam position sensor.

Oil pressure on the left cam is on the right in this pic.http://mycarpics.shutterfly.com/202

Ended up at NAPA and left with that fresh feeling...of being raped. $60 for the sending unit, and $12 for the socket later, the sensor was fixed. Now one of the damn fuel injectors is leaking! Does it ever end?
