No Oil Pressure After Replacing Water Pump
Good to hear, I was just concerned because I bought an SMP ECT recently, and it did not work with the dash gauge, so I had to get an OE AC Delco to get it to work.
Of course that works by measuring resistance, and the OPS would be a simple pressure sensor.
Thanks again for the help!
I do have another question or two, as I have never replaced one.
Do you know what I need to remove it? Just an open end wrench?
And in my 96 PA do you think I can get to it without removing the alternator, tensioner, and power steering pump again?

I found the easiest way is to pull the right wheel and splash guard. The sensor is right there. Getting a wrench in there is a pain, can't remember the size, 24mm or 26mm comes to mind.
Had somebody on another forum bring something up that I did not think of.
Is it possible I could have a large oil leak since the sensor is broke off?
I was told I could.

Thanks for the response rustyroger!
Your lucky.In Bubba (93 Z71) if that oil pressure sender is broke or goes bad the truck will not allow power to the fuel pump.I see it as a saftey measure that way if oil pressure is none you cant spin a rod bearing or do any other damage kind of cool but also a headache when you find that out the hard way.
