1. Are you sure you didnt break the oil pressure sender?

2. You broke the lead wire to the alternator. You need to repair it.

I was gonna say oil pressure sender too, but it says he replaced it.


Alternator, you either broke the exciter wire like jmblown said, or you spilled way too much coolant on it and need to clean it (most likely the former, but I've seen the latter happen on other cars).

For the oil pressure I have no idea.

Check your ground wires at the front on the block and rear. Two faults at the same time kinda screams power connections.

Did you check all three of the ground wires on the back of the ds head? All kinds of goofy things happen when one of those breaks...

Yea I made sure the ground connections were really tight on the back of the drivers side head (3 of them) and the one in the front connected with the pcv tube.

Check to make sure you didn't accidentally draw out one of the wires for the sensor while back there. Would show as a pegged guage depending upon which isn't making contact... worth a look.

Alright! Excellent, the oil sensor connector came off the sensor so I plugged the sucker back in all good there now.

I went to the dealer and got a new 4pin connector for the alternator, to get that guy in there would I need to take off the alternator or can it be done with it still on the car?
