Auto Meter 2242 Short Sweep Electric Oil Pressure Sender

Works as it should once you establish a good ground! Teflon thread tape can be used to seal the pipe threads, but the unit must be screwed in very tightly to establish a good ground to the engine.

Good replacement for one that was broken off accidentally.

It is unfortunate the unit failed within 48 hours of installation. I am buying a replacement sender today hoping the new unit will work as designed. 10/14/2016 - Update - Upon replacing the failed unit, I realized the micro-orifice in the unit was plugged with a small teflon tape particle. I used teflon tape as a thread sealant. I have to admit this is user error - my user error. I am revising my Review to a 5 - highly satisfied. I will keep the replaced sender as a backup. 10/16/2016 - Update - The new unit failed again. However, upon unistalling the sender unit I noticed the micro-orifice was blocked with small fragments of of teflon tape. I drilled a 1/8 in. hole in the sender unit using the micro-orifice as a guide. I then proceeded to test the sender unit by hooking it up to a 30 psi air compressor. The electrical resistance readings covered the range of 0 to 200 ohms. Finally, upon final installation in the car, the gauge worked perfectly showing an oil pressure reading from 25 psi to 75 psi. I am now rating the unit a 4 because of the extra effort required to get it to work correctly. I am posting this to inform other readers whose sender units have failed. Based on my experience so far, it appears the factory orifice diameter needs to be increased to minimize field failures.

Works perfect

The sensor works great but you need to be aware of a possible grounding issue. If you use Teflon tape the sensor my not ground with the oil housing and the gauge will not work. So be sure to use Teflon paste in stead or you will need to run a jumper wire from the sensor housing (I used a hose clamp to hold the wire to the housing of the sensor) then to a known ground.

Expensive but it is exactly matched to my Autometer gauge

Product works amazing. Used it on a 6.4 powerstroke for a customer. Reads accurated pressure.

entrega rapida y buen producto

Muy bien precio para este repuesto original AutoMeter.

fonctionne a merveille

I really prefer american canadian or japanese made products, Parts that we can trust , not like those crappy china made stuff.

Works great ..: but from what I read .. will need to replace quite often!!

3 sensor 300$ plus dollars one worked for an hr total. Not impressed. Won’t reply won’t honour return. Avoid
