Do you mean the sensor on the oil pan? If so, it's the low oil level sensor.

No, its on the oil filter adapter. Its pretty big like 3" long by approx 2" in diameter. Derek

Are you sure it is on the adapter and not on the block above the filter? That's where the oil pressure sensor is on 93s and early 94s.

No one knows the year of your car. When people don't bother to give basic info, people often don't bother to reply.

No and no, My car is a 94. The oil filter adapter is what the filter screws on to (Adapter bolts to the block). It has a rubberized sheath over the entire sensor and is cylindrical.
