oil pressure. :)
Thought that constant 70-80psi was a bit off.
One nice new shiny sensor later and it's right
back down to 40psi where it should be.
Oddly, idle is a bit better. :/ I thought the
oil pressure sender had zippo to do with the
ECU, it's not mentioned in the monitored circuits.
I'd do a writeup, but for crying out loud it's easier
than the O2 sensor. Normally I rate things by beer
meter, but this doesn't even rate an O'Doul's.
FWIW, The 93 ZJ 4.0 I6 used NAPA ECH OP6695
The stock part had a bit of sealant on the back few
threads. Since I didn't have any thread sealant
(just locker and RTV) I used some teflon tape on
the back threads. No leaks on testing so it should
be just fine. If it ever does leak I'll just have
to buy another tube of stuff for the garage.
The hardest part was getting a wrench on it that didn't
hit the AC lines.

Re: oil pressure. :)
The teflon tape can interfere with the ground on the sensor sometimes so
if it acts strange some day down the road, think there.

Yea, normally I use the right seelant, but this time there wasn't anything
in the garage to use. That's why I only put it on the back few threads,
reasoned it would cut through against the metal. I could have just threaded
it in but the fitting didn't have a taper.

The fitting probably does have a taper, but a lot of them use a 1/8" short
NPT thread and it can be hard to see the taper, but what you did should be
fine.
