2000 Accord - Oil Pressure Switch
Check engine light came on this morning, so I took the 2000 2-door Coupe LX Accord to Honda. They ran their tests ($100 worth 
) and came up with a bad VTEC OIL PRESSURE SWITCH (in their words). They want $161 +tax to replace it. I've done a little research and I believe I found the part I need at Advance Auto Parts http://www.partsamerica.com/Pr...set=A
Only $8. Now I just need to know if this is an easy replacement or am I going to have to really put some work into it. I cannot find any documents online on how to replace it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: 2000 Accord - Oil Pressure Switch (xenocidal)
The VTEC oil pressure switch is very easy to replace. Its behind the distrubutor cap, and downward. I believe it has a turquoise color connector that plugs into it. That sensor screws right into the block. Just a simple unscrew and screw the new one in. Now tell me something, what code was your honda throwing? My 99 lx is throwing a code and all it says is VTEC malfunction....a mechanic told me that it could be the same thing you are replacing, but once i replaced it and turned off the CEL, it came back on again a little ways down the road.
