You can order the sender through www.Mazdatrix.com

ive got one i can send you for like 20 bucks if you want it, its a new one from mazdatrix. I got it and it didnt work properly with the autometer gauge i had, different volatges or something. Bought it because i thought the old sender was bad but it ended up doing the exact same thing... So anyway, replaced that with a mechanical one. No more electrical problems.

Mine was doing this, it either read zero (most of the time) or it would pin above 110 (???). Cleaned the wire, pulled the sender, couldn't get it to work.



Then, one day, I pulled the sender while there was oil in the system (accidentally https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ). An ounce or two drained out, replaced the sender, works great ever since. I think there was something clogging the sender (alternately giving it no access to the oil, or creating a high-pressure spurt) and opening it with the draining oil cleared it out.

i just put 10/30 motor oil in my T2 and the oil pressure is WAY HIGH i mean like 3/4 the way up the gauge (i don't know exactly what psi that is) but i mean good oil pressure is good right?

when is it reading 3/4? I think that is fine... my stock guage reads about that above 3k rpm and my Autometer which is reading from the oil pedestal holds 65-75psi above 3k usually and 24psi at idle.. 20w50 oil
