If you are running a oil pressure gauge then yes you need to plug the sensor in. If you cant find where it plugs into then find a book or manual that has a wiring diagram for the correct location.

It's a weird plug, but that's correct. It'll fit.

What oil pressure gauge ? The stock one.

You don't need to plug it in, it won't cause any problems but I would suggest having it plugged in.

Re: (RCautoworks)

I know this thred is old, but i have a question regarding what someone said on here.

Does the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block have anything to do with vtec, Say its not even connected, will that pevent vtec from activating? Or does it only detect oil pressure in the vtec assembly itself?
Thanks.
