it is above the oil filter
thats the v6 isnt the I4 on the block like somepalce i tryed lookngi for it once and i failed lol, manual said it was on the block
Its on the back of the block just below and to the side of the intake manifold support bracket.Its brass colored (probably made of brass too?) and hexagon shaped.
ok i see it.. yes stewi is 100% right on the I4

yu will see some oil in the pic dont worry i not leaking oil, wit for your engine to cook down be fore you remove the sensor 8p being angry and in a hurry dont mix well
stupid factory manual, i thought it was on the exhaust side, now if you where to add a electionic oil pressure sensor?, you tap into the wires or the block lol
where are the other sensors?
you source it from the block. never tap any aftermarket gauge into a factory sensor, your asking for trouble. not only will it mess with your reading, but it will probably F'up the signal going to the ECU from the sensor as well. The best place to install an oil pressure gauge is right on the oil filter housing.Quote:

ok i just changed my oil pressure sensor $20 from the dealer. you will need a 1 1/6 inch deep socket and it should take 5 minutes to change, This is for the I4
you will need to change the sensor if your oil light comes off and on during idel and goes away when you rev it..
omfg thanks that has been driving me nuts i installed a preaussure gauge and it read 10-15 when i would idle and the light would come on ill find a mitsu dealer and ask for the partQuote:

Thank you for the post. I just changed mine out. Dealer wanted $40, autozone charged $6.
So i am assuming i need to get a phillips head and remove that tab, then use the socket to remove the sensor?Quote:

No need to remove the tab - just pull off the connector that connects to the tab. Don't forget to use some thread sealant, and careful not to get oil in your eyes.Quote:

Well, when I changed my sensor out, I did an oil change at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone.
tru. just changed it out, wasn't too bad, some tips are get the 1 1/16 DEEP SOCKET.. which now that i look up there it already says so... and jack ur car up as much as you safely can for leverage, i ended up shifting my body to the left of the car (head was facing downward towards rear bumper) and pressing my wrench outwards towards the pass. front wheel to finally get it to loosen
