Default D16z6 oil pressure switch

I just broke my oil pressure switch I glued it back but I'm not sure if it will hold or work so far no check engine light

Should I bypass it or buy a new one my car 93 civic dx if I can bypass it what's the pros and con

If I should buy a new one where can I find one for cheap brand new.

It's on the vtec solenoid the green one

And if I bypass it A4 to d6 to vtec solenoid is that right ?

Replace the broken switch. It's critical to know whether the oil pressure is low.

Glued it on? I have no words. Of course you replace it. Go to Honda or find one in a junkyard.

You can use one from pretty much any Honda/Acura:

92up Civic EX/VX/Si SOHC VTEC or DOHC
94up Accord with SOHC VTEC engines (including Acura CL)
92up Prelude SOHC VTEC or DOHC VTEC engines
92up Acura Integra GSR DOHC VTEC
94up Del Sol SOHC VTEC or DOHC VTEC
there's more but that is basically a few you can look for
