On a 97 with either the 3.3L or the 3.5L engine, it is on the engine block just forward of the oil filter. The wire going to it is supposed to be grey, with either engine. Sometimes, however, you'll find that the vendor ran out of grey wire, substituted some other color, and put a tag on it that says "20GY". This can happen anyplace in a wiring harness, with the tag corresponding to whatever the wire was SUPPOSED to be. Naturally, Murphy's Law of Automotive Repair mandates that by the time you get to that particular area, the tag will have fallen off. It is a common part that most good auto parts stores should have. You may be able to get it off with a regular socket, but a special socket should be used to install it because if you try using a regular one, you can crack the seal between the stamped outer housing and the plastic body of the sensor, and this will cause a leak. This sensor feeds the instrument panel oil pressure warning lamp only. It is completely independent of the powertrain control module (engine computer). -GP ------------------------ Yahoo!
