Hey guys i am new to the forum and new to car performance welli 4 cylinder car performance!! I totalled my bike in which i had put so much money in i decided to now direct my attention to my 94 eagel talon!! My first problem is that i just changed out a crack exhaust manifold and now my oil pressure gauge is reading low!!! i think i see the wire that i knocked lose right under the oil filter by the altenator but i am still lost:( I know the car is running fine because i let the car run for a bou 10 minute after i installed the manifold and even drove around toen before i notices it was lose! Can anyone help me!! I just want to plug it back just to see the needel move so that i can have a piece of mind:) Thanks in advance

I would plu it back in but i am an idiot and i can't seem to find out where it goes? I have looked up and down to see where it goes and i can not find the connection!!!
 
It goes on the oil filter housing, right in front of the driver side front wheel. You reach it from outside the car, no need to even jack it up. The wire attaches to the back of the housing (facing towards the rear of the car) and it looks like a small metal dome or bell. There should be a knob on top of this dome, onto which the connector... connects :)

Mine kept falling off, so I bent the little metal tab (very carefully) in the connector so it stays on better.
