    Perhaps your 1994 has the oil pressure sensor on the side of the block and that is it broken off.

        Does the oil pressure gauge on your dash work? If it does, the sender is obviously not broken.

          What Tracy said and the sensor is either on the side of the block above the oil filter or behind the intake manifold. It would have a tan wire, though.

          Does the wire look factory and go into the factory harness or just where does it go?

            yeah i got it..it does have a single tan wire and it is on the block. that is what the dangling thing in the pic was. here are some pics of the old one that was broke and the new one..and yes the oil gauge in the dash was going hay wire..as soon as you would turn the key on, the pointer would go straight to 80..over 80..as though it was grounding out.. here are some pics..

            and that was what the button thingy was on the end..and no the car didnt blow up when you pushed it because i had issues with the mafia..i also borrowed my friends scanner so i can get the trouble codes..when i get them i will write them down and show them to you guys.
