Default Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

I feel like a newb now, I just installed a h22a and I can't find the PSP sensor connector that plugs into the power steering line. Is it off the engine wiring harness or does it come directly from the car? I thought it came off the engine wiring harness, hence why I unplugged it when I was removing the old engine like the write up explained.

I probably just lost the connector somewhere and can't find it because its hiding behind something, but it would help me find it to know where its suppose to come from. The sensor is on the power steering line behind the engine, under the intake manifold. Its a green clip directly attached to the line:

I looked, I think you described where the connector is on the power steering line... I am looking for the plug that connects into that. I search around that area and didn't see it, I think I have everything on my engine wiring harness plugged in properly. I used the helms to find where all the plugs go into based on the color coding. I also searched the Helms for where the PSP wire runs from so I could plug it in, but there is nothing in the Helms about it.

So I basically have no clue where the PSP wire is... I can see the connector on the power steering line, I just don't have or can't find the wire the plugs into it.

you don't even need it, the only thing is does it measure the pressure in the lines, and the only time its ever looked at is if its on a diagnostic's computer to see if the pump is going bad. I don't think it does anything to affect steering or driveablity.. it won't' even throw a CEL

so its only for diagnostic purposes then? Because I wanted to keep power steering on my car because its mostly a daily driver, and I saw it had to be disconnected on the preludeonline write up, but I couldn't find the wire to connect it back in.

Well, as long as I can have normal powersteering... I did a search and someone said that it regulates power steering pressure when at idle and low rpms or something, sounded like it could be important, but for now I can wait because its not a big deal for the getting the engine started anyway. Thanks for your responses

Found it in the Helms: C110. It runs back into the big harness that that has all those plugs near the under-hood fuse box. I would guess it goes back to the ECU.

Ahh yes, good call... I should have looked in the electrical section, I thought it would have been in the Power Steering section
