I think the OP is referring to the brass colored part broken off flush in the head just to the LEFT of the VTEC pressure switch in the photo above.

OP, drill a hole in the middle of the remaining sensor base and remove what's left by inserting a reverse thread extractor in the hole.

AHHH the sending unit!

Yea use a extractor like he mentioned! You might have to remove the radiator hoses and other things to make room for the drill!
