sensor?
As i was changing my oil today, I had to get a pair of channel locks to take off the damn filter. And in the process i hit this plug thats right below the Vtec Solenoid. i would like to know which sensor this is so i can go to an auto store and get one.
thanks

it may be the dummy oil sensor. not gonna find that at autozone. Take a pic or explain clearer. You owuld need to go to the dealership for that one although its not that important.

well, the car has a rough idle when i go to stop. and then it clears up. After that if i try to take the RPM's up it wont go past 6200 like as if it were in SAFE mode? it might be a temp sensor, being that its scewed right into the same housing as the Vtec soleniod and vtec plug.

In the opening post he said "below the vtec solenoid" so I was thinking he meant the plug below the vtec unit.
This is why I asked him for a more descriptive answer.

You would need to pull the code to be sure. Which is why I invested 130 bucks in an obdII scanner. Not only can it read the code you can clear it aswell.
Its probably the oil pressure switch which is a dealership item unless you can find an s2000 at a junk yard.

Easy question to figure out what you broke..
How many wires to the plug?
1 wire = oil pressure sender for low oil pressure light
2 wires = VTEC oil pressure switch.
Next step is to buy an oil filter wrench instead of channel locks.
