oil pressure sensor question
 

I am hooking up a oil pressure guage in my car, I figure that I can tap into the existing wire on the factory sensor, has anyone else done this before?

Not going to work.

The OEM part is an oil pressure "switch." It is not a sensor.

I have tried it... It doesnt work.

just go to tuner toys and buy the T-block fitting so u can run ur gauge sending unit next to ur stock pressure switch.

is this the same for the coolant temp guage? i can't run it off the current coolant temp sensor?

Re: oil pressure sensor question
 

Oil pressure from a coolant temp sender... Good luck.

i dont think that was his question, he was just asking the same question about the sensors but instead of oil he was talking about coolant.

yeah, i was asking whether or not i could use the factory coolant temp sensor to run a coolant temp guage
