Hey guys! Two weeks ago I jumped on the highway to head home for the weekend and noticed I had no oil pressure. So I pulled over, crawled under and figured out that there was a plug by my oil filter that was dragging. I went to a Jiffy lube like place and had my oil changed and told them what had happened. They changed my oil and plugged it in again....blah, blah, blah... Well, once again I'm dragging this plug. I crawled under but can't figure out where it goes. So I'm driving around ghetto, constantly checking out my temp gage because all I ended up doing was zip tying the thing up so I dont drag it! Any Idea why it's comming unplugged?? Or where it goes??
:confused:
 
That little plastic plug commonly falls off, and attatches to your oil pressure sending unit, which is attatched to your oil filter housing. There will be a little metal (pardon my french) nipple than the plug attatches to. It used to come off on my Laser all the time. I don't think it causes any problems such as a check engine light or anything (at least not on 1G's) so it's merely a nuisance. Hope this helps.

Regards,
 
Hey I am wondering about that nipple on the oil filter housing as well. Mine doesn't have anything attached to it. I do see a plug dangling that's rectangular shaped near the alternator wiring, but does this rectangle plug go onto the cylindrical nipple? They didn't teach me that in grade school. And if that's the nipple for the oil pressure sending unit, and mien isn't plugged in, why does my oil pressure gauge still work properly? Is there a secondary pressure sending unit somewhere? Thanks!
