While working on my oil cooler kit, hit the plug and the wires broke off. There isn't enough slack to redo the wires. I'm currently running Aem ems so I'm not sure if this would effect the car. Can this plug be ordered or would I need to find a old wire harness and cut the plug out. The plug itself is fine but I don't have any wire slack on the plug side.

Thanks

The oil pressure sensor doesn't use a plug, it's just a wire with an o-ring end that bolts to the sensor with a small bolt. You must have broken the vtec switch plug ?.

I know it's not the vtec solenoid plug. It's the one right ontop of the TCT and has a brown plug. Points towards the head shield.

Here you can see a god pick of the plug.

Yeah that is the vtec oil pressure switch part of the vtec solenoid. VTEC won't work without it connected. The picture of the grey domed shape rubber boot is the engine oil pressure sensor.

There is a way to fish out the metal clips inside the plug with a jewellers screwdriver, then maybe you can splice in a new piece of wire and reinsert the clips into the plug. Otherwise find a donor wire harness and cut the plug off of it.

Thanks jfusion. I popped the metal plugs using a small flathead and was able to get to it. Just finished extending the wire. Hope it works. Getting retuned this Saturday and would hate for it to not work. Can't hit vtec now since I'm on my old tune. Any other ways to ensure it's working using the aem ems?

Nice fix . I can't imagine it not working as the wiring is pretty straight forward as long as you have good connections. I don't know anything about AEM EMS though.

Yea should work but I shall see this sat. Thanks again for your help

Since your running on the AEM the VTEC pressure switch is completely unnecessary. The only thing it "needs" to engage VTEC is the solenoid (single wire connector next to the one that broke). I can't remember if or what you need to change in the calibration to disable the switch but it will definitely work without it.

Great to hear. Thanks for the post. By chance do you know about the Aem ems and injectors? Swapping out to my old ones and wondered if the only thing I need to do after the swap is switch the injector size on Aem ems
