Default Sensor behind the intake manifold
What sensor is behind the intake manifold, and sticks into the engine facing downward. I forgot to post this before I came to work so I don't have a picture to show. I'm not talking about the MAP sensor, its closer to the driver's side of the car than the MAP. It looks like a black tube and it sticks straight downward into the engine. I somehow managed to break this while I was taking the LS1 intake off for an LS6. Thanks.

OPSU. oil pressure sending unit. you should have done your research before pulling the intake. it's a very common mistake and it's easily avoided.
