If you broke it pulling the intake, then it's most likely the oil presure sensor. You and several hundred other people have done that.

Sounds like the Oil Pressure Sensor as stated. Common thing to break. Just be sure to get the right replacement as the 98 F-body has a different sensor than the 99-02 F-bodies.

I broke one once after the intake was already off the car
