So, while pulling my wiring harness to get the head off, I broke a prong off my oil temp sender. I believe its the one to the gauge possibly? I am needing to replace it, but can't really find a replacement part. Was hoping someone had a great idea, or a similar part stateside.

I am also having issues getting my motor to fire, hoping this is related to it, as it ran before. But really have yet to dig into troubleshooting it, will get back out there tonight.


Any help friends?

you have the OEM r32/33 oil temp gauge that you are using in your S14?

That sender has absolutely nothing to do with the car starting. It is a single prong sensor for an inaccurate OEM oil temp gauge, which I doubt you have. I say leave it broken and use it as a plug to prevent oil from coming out. Or replace it with a bspt threaded aftermarket gauge sender/gauge if you want.
