Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2006Oil Pressure Sending Unit PITA 96 Sentra
I'm trying to replace the oil prssure sending unit on a 96 Sentra 1.6 Liter engine. It looks like I'm going to have to unbolt a bracket which goes up to the intake manifold(?) to get it out of the way so I can put the socket on. If I remove this bracket, will the engine slump down? Do I need to support the engine before removing the bracket? Is there a simpler, easier way to get the old sending unit out and the new one in? No room for the wrenches I have. Even if I get the special sending unit socket for $12, that bracket is going to be in the way anyway. Thanks I think I found the solution. A shallow crow's foot socket will fit right back there, and let me put the drive to the side of the bracket ! I just need to find a crow's foot socket that's bigger than the standard 7/8 inch one. Later. Crows foot sockets come in all sizes. >I think I found the solution.

I saw your posting about the engine noises. Did you measure the oil pressure? The noises and the light coming on when the engine is hot point more towards a pressure problem, not a sending unit problem. > I'm trying to replace the oil prssure sending unit on a 96 Sentra 1.6 > Liter engine.

Maybe I should, then I'll have it to use on other engines too. |
