i am putting in an S pac dash today and everyhting worked straight away when it was plugged in except the oil gauge which goes way off past the highest level.
Does anyone know where i can find the oil pressure sender on a ED 4.0l engine.
I thought i found it at the front of the motor with a wire attached to it on the right hand side but the holoe is way too small!!
Please help!
Thanks

From memory, the Oil Pressure sender switch is located on the Passenger side of the engine, about 3 inches above the Oil Filter, and Back about 1 inch towards the Cabin.

Very hard to describe exactly where it is, but If you look around the Oil Fileter area (above and Back) for something with 1 single wire hanging from it, then chances are that you found it !

Your car wont have a pressure sender, it will just have a low pressure sensor I think.

You'll have to go to the wreckers and get one from a S-pac or higher model

The sender is grey and circular also

oil pressure sender

I already have the sender, i got it along with the Dash.
I just need to know where to put it.
Does it go where the old sensor was/is?
Where is it i ran out of daylight so i couldn't find it.
Thanks again

Yeah, she goes exactly where the Old Oil Pressure Switch is.
Should be a simple matter of removing the Old one, using a little bit of loctite on the new Oil Pressure sensor, so as you dont get any Oil Leaks, and fitting it in place !

P.S. How much did the Oil Pressure sensor cost you ?
Ive got a friend whom had his EF engine replaced with an EL, and everything is sweet, with exception that the EL has a Pressure switch, not a pressure sensor !
