What size socket do u need to take off an oil pressure sending switch for a 1996 Chrysler Sebring jx 2.4 ebgine

1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2.4L SFI DOHC 4cyl

The MAP Sensor is located: Under hood, center, lower engine area, passenger side of engine, mounted behind alternator

first off if the oil warning light is on, u need to check the oil pressure with a gauge with the engine at operating temp. and make sure oil pressure is up to spec. a bad switch can cause it to come on also. on the backside of the engine there is an aluminum heat shield covering the switch held on with 3 15mm bolts. after you remove the shield the switch can be removed with a deep socket. dont over tighten the new one when you put it in.

You may have a bad map sensor or idle control sensor. You may need to adjust the idle itself.

Anytime the oil light goes on, I would think that the pressure has dropped, assuming the oil sending unit is working properly.

How long ago was the engine oil changed?
I had a low oil pressure signal in a 1997 Cadillac Deville LImousine which went away after I had the engine oil changed.

Sometimes, the wrong viscosity or oil break down can cause the oil pump not to generate enough pressure for the oil pressure light to go on.

I looked at the Recalls for the 2.7L engine and couldn't find anything regarding engine oil pressure light going on mistakenly, but this doesn't mean that it's not a problem on your vehicle. There are 2 other sized engines for this vehicle.

So, what's the engine size for this Chrysler Sebring?
Does the engine smoke at all after all of this?

should be on driver's side right above the oil filter

Depending on the tightness of the socket fit and the engine, carefully pull the spark plug out of the bore



Hope this helps some...best that I can find!

Oil pressure should rise with rpm's so the check engine light is something else.

Could be a bad oil pressure switch, or a bad oil pump. Both will cause this issue. Hope it is the switch b/c the oil pump is a costly repair.
