Hi All, I had to take a picture of the location of the oil pressure sending unit on a 3.0L today, and I thought while I was at it, I would take pictures of the
other "popular" components:




Oil pressure sending unit (analog, not "switch"):




DPFE sensor:




IAC valve:




MAF sensor:




TPS sensor:




Coolant temp sensor (gauge):




Coolant temp sensor (PCM):

 

nice work... i dont think they are all in the same spot on my truck... what year is yours?

 

Thanks!! Mine is a 1999. I see you have a Mercedes also, I have a 1981 300D.

 

Yeah good work! Have you replaced your DPFE before? My '00 still has the metal one.

 

Yes, mine had the infamous P0401 code, changed it out with the plastic one.

 

ahh another W123 owner you have any pics of it?

 

I've got some somewhere, I'll try and find them.

 

Here ya go, a few pictures. It was bought new by my Dad in 1981, all original, never restored in any way. I have done all the routine service
on it:

Yeah, that is different from the 2004+

 

man that is beautiful... even has the steelies and hubcaps... here is mine... if you need any info on the benz check out www.mercedesshop.com

 

very nice... i think this should be done with every engine and stickied... because it would have saved me so much time if i would have seen this before trying to instal my water temp gauge lol

 

Thank you sir.

 

Takeda, by your pics what year ranger are you showing? I need to replace the sending unit that operates the dash guage. By your pics what one am I looking for? What color wires are attached to it? Thanks.

 

It is a 1999. Depending on what year yours is, the gauge temp sensor will only have one wire, the PCM coolant temp sensor has 2 wires.
