Help!

Ok so I have that many random plugs that go no where in my car but this one is bugging me. Anyone know what its supposed to do? Im missing the plug off my standard oil pressure sender but it has 2 terminals where this plug only has one...

It comes out of the starter motor loom. Thanks in advance

Either oil, or knock sensor.

EDIT:

Just checked

Oil pressure switch.

Right next to your oil filter.

ok my switch has two terminals and the pulg only has one, just plug it onto either one?

[Nic_A31]

Take some pics of yours, I'll go take some pics of mine.

Hmmm, that's aftermarket.

You didn't say anything about aftermarket.

Location of standard oil pressure sender switch.

Plug exposed.

Connector exposed.

Standard RB20DET.

Can't vouch for RB25DET but from memory they're the same.

Hmm i cant even find where the standard one should be. Do you have the standard oil cooler that the filter bolts onto?

[Nic_A31]

Oil cooler..

You mean sandwich plate... ?

The oil filter goes onto that, and it bolts onto the block.

I've got a standard one yes.

RB20 or RB25 ?

Is there a bolt in the block somewhere around there? Might have been plugged up.

It's around 10 o'clock proximity to the oil filter. Might have to have a feel around for it.

[GravyGarage]

Yeah crazy looking thing that the filter usually bolts onto, just convinced myself it was a cooler. Dont mind me haha

Think I found it, has a bolt plugging it up.

Would I be able to use that yellow plug just run an earth of the other terminal?

[Nic_A31]

Dunno mate, I'll let someone else answer that.

I don't know how those aftermarket oil pressure senders work.

If you know the brand name and model, shouldn't take long to track down some wiring for it.

[GravyGarage]

Oh ok will give it a go, cant get any worse than having nothing connected.

Thanks for your help Nic

nope its standard.... a standard r32 pressure sensor one plug goes to the red light warning light and the other goes to the r32 oil press gauge

[GravyGarage]

Ah ok makes sense. Does it matter which terminal I connect the idiot light to?

[Dan_J]

i think it would so just have a play with it. just put the key on ignition and wait for the red light to show up, seeing that the engine isn't running causing no pressure

[GravyGarage]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Thanks dude will let you know how I go on the weekend

[DannyC33]

correct me if im wrong but that looks like the standard oil warmer from an rb25.. but seems to have a different sender in it i believe.

i just recently put my mates c33 back together with a 25det and it had that same loom plug but only single pin on the pressure sender.

[GravyGarage]

Yeah pretty sure I took the same thing off my other 25

I put the wire on the forward most terminal on the warmer thingy and seems to work like a normal on. Light comes on with ignition then goes off just after fire up. Thanks for the help guys
