Mine leaking badly, and i'm wondering if a KA24de switch will work in its place...and if the plug-ins the same or not. Anyone offer up some insight?

If its just leaking oil you souldnt have to replace it...Try removing it and putting on some new RTV around the threads and torque it down..That sould do the trick.

It's a cheap sensor, so if you pull it, just replace it at the same time.

Pull the bracketry off the intake manifold and you should have a good shot at it from underneath

When pressure switches fail and start leaking they leak through to the actuall plug in part, not around the threads...I'm gonna pick up a KA switch and toss it in today...i'm running a Greddy IM so its not hard to get to at all.

Thanks for all the response's
