Default 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?

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

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.
