Oil pressure sensor effects Hi guys,
Long story short, I pulled the engine, rebuilt it, and threw it back in but I forgot to replace the oil pressure sensor behind the intake manifold on my LS1. The engine runs, but sometimes it seems like it's not stable. I haven't had it running long only a few minutes total (also my first build ) so idk if this is normal. Could the oil pressure sensor behind the manifold have any unwanted effects? Should I go back in their and replace it? Any advice would be helpful. The oil pressure gauge on the dash is pinned to maximum so idk what the PCM is doing

I agree, the oil pressure sensor isn't even wired to the LS1 PCM, it goes directly to the cluster.
On PCMs where the sensor is wired to them and the oil pressure can be scanned, the PCM doesn't do anything with it, you can unplug it, delete it or whatever and it will run the same.
However, since you rebuilt the engine I'd make sure the pressure is correct using a mechanical gauge or fixing the stock one.

Thank you guys for the input. The only reason I ask is because I forgot to replace the sensor and I don't want to go digging back there again if I don't have to. I would like to do a pressure check because I don't have a sensor monitoring it anymore. Does anyone know where the the oil pressure sender is located on an LS1 so that I can plug in a mechanical gauge and check it?
