Help please, oil pressure gauge moves back and forth - SOLVED

[swathdiver]

12673134 is the current number.

12596951 and 12621234 are older numbers. All work.

Some find that removing the intake manifold makes changing the sensor easier. I've removed mine before and if I have to replace my sensors, the intakes are coming off. It's not a big deal and adds only a few more minutes of work and no fooling or contorting with the sensor.

I would recommend a small pick set; it might help grab that screen if it's down in there.
Something like this,

I have a set like this, It's helpful sometimes to be able to bend and modify them.
If it's the same set, then it will bend without breaking.

Harbor freight also has a cheap pick set that's much finer, I might recommend that one for catching the screen over the one I linked above.

I've seen people use a coarse thread wood screw, too, to pull the old screen.

Thank you all for help. I finally had time to work on the problem tonight.
I removed the sensor and screen. They are all clean. The screen was not clogged.
I guessed the problem was from the sensor. Next I will order sensor to replace.
To remove the sensor for me, I had to remove the fuel line connector and brake vacuum hose.
I used a piece of metal sheet to make a small tool to remove the fuel line.
I will report back when I replace the sensor.

Report back. I replaced the oil pressure sensor today. The problem was solved.
I bought the sensor from RA and hope it will last for a few years. Can't trust the sellers on Amazon.
Appreciate for the help from all of you guys.
Best regards.

Did the screen come with it or did you buy that seperately?

The old screen is clean. I reused it.

Edit: No, the screen didn't come with the sensor. It's sold separately.
