Last year my oil pressure censor has started to crap out on me. as the car idles it jumps all over the place and when I accelerate it just jumps past the highest pressure mark and stays there. Where is this censor at on the motor? Is it easy to get to and am im assuming a parts store will have them available?

I have one for sale $35 shipped New In Box came from GMPartsDirect, Myself and others have had shitty luck with ones from the auto parts store. And yours is on back of the intake, pretty easy to get to

On your vehicle, it's at the back of the intake manifold closer to the driver side.

it is right behind the intake, you will need a special socket to take it out and put it in... the parts store will carry the socket and the oil pressure sender(the socket shouldn't cost over 10 dollars)

but when it goes to the top that normally doesn't mean it is maxed out , it means it has a bad connection. When its unplugged it stays at the top. Doesn't fall to 0 like you would think

really? That's interesting. Is there a spot in the connection that's usually problematic on them?

I had it in a shop over last summer and they did some head work for me and regasketed the whole top end. It was doing this before I took it into the shop, however, and it acts the same afterward the work was done too-would this have been something they should have/could have noticed when the intake was off?

might be bad at the connector or a part of the wiring exposed. Just have to get in there and look at the wires

I just looked under there, and could feel and see my fuel pressure regulator on the back of my fuel rails, but didn't notice anything else back there. Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like? I can't even find the damn thing...

It's a bit farther back, on the block.

Sorry, it's no where you'll actually be able to see. Its on the block, tucked just behind the intake manifold. Im not sure, but it may not be accessible without removing the intake. Someone else might know for sure. Advance usually carries the sensor in stock, seems to work ok ($40 BWD brand). You definitely need a special oil pressure sensor socket 1-1/16. Believe me, nothing else will work. I'll find a pic and post it

perfect, thank you thats exactly what I needed!

Here's a pic of the sensor, with the intake manifold taken off.

I borrowed the pic from ls1 how to (manifold swap)... Hope no one objects.

I changed mine and my son's using an adjustable (many times called a "Cressant") wrench.

If it was an LS1, it might be appropriate.

LOL i'm so retarded, i assumed that since this is ls1 tech, it was for an ls1...not lt1... MY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time i'll be sure to look at the car mods and info in the signatures...
