[Mattolo]

Hi, i need to know the type of Oil pressure sensor bulb for my 4a-ge.
I search in http://www.toyodiy.com but I don't found anything for my Ae86(date 5/85).
I think that bulb it's common, any idea?
Mine was stolen by a mechanical -_-

GAGE ASSY,OIL PRESSURE SENDER

[Mattolo]

no i'm looking for this:

83530 SWITCH ASSY, OIL PRESSURE (FOR ENGINE)




but for JDM version (mine) exist the code only for digital dash version (3/1983-4/1985).
My Ae86 was made in 5/1985

Switch is NOT a sensor !!! It just tell you when you have oil pressure problem. Basically you have that when you don't have oil pressure gauge (Digital dash don't have gauge, so they have switch )

Every 4AG have the sensor mentioned earlier (except AE86 with digital dash)

What I don't understand is how someone can steal it since it's under the power steering pump !
(and I can see it on your own picture HERE

Also what do you mean by "type" ?!

Excuse me, I'm confused about exact term in english.
For type I mean: exists more types of Oil Switch Pressure, for example I have two different that I used for another car prepped for racing.
It's near the oil filter, right?
Now it's was replacement with a bolt -_-
I think that the mechanic broke the switch and replaced it without telling me.
Only some time later I realized that the oil pressure indicator don't work, because I keep the Ae86 in garage stops for months; the cable of oil pressure indicator was unplugged and I found a bolt in place of switch.

If you ask about original part on the 4AG:
if you have "analog" dash it's a round bulb
83520‑14022


If you have digital gauge (but you don't) it's a switch.

If you ask if every sensor in the world are the same: NO
You can't take a sensor from another car or brand and expect it work like the toyota one.

Yes but not really close. It's more closer to the oil pump.
Look your own picture:

See under the bracket of the Power steering pump ?
just after (between oil filter and oil pressure sensor) you have a bolt, but it's NORMAL, this is not the place of the oil sensor

Can you take a picture of the side of your engine ?
That way it will be easier to tell you if the sensor is missing or not

[Mattolo]

ok, i verified that the bulb exist(sorry about the photo):



You can see behind support for steering pump.

but the oil pressure indicator in the dash don't work.

I thought that It don't work because i found this unplugged:



and another mechanical tell to me that the swith was replace by a bolt.

It doesn't work because it's disconnected, nothing more
With the time the connector loose grip and it disconnect itself with the vibration.

If your fingers are small maybe you can reconnect it without unbolting the power steering pump.

I think that the other mechanical forgot to reconnect.
The connector are under power steering, right?

in this image the connector where is?
