Dude, stop driving the car... I am telling you, you will suffer more if you continue to drive it, until you find out 100% its the sensor, I can show you the proof. My motor is still apart, now into it a few grand and I am not done yet and I am doing all the work myself.. I had the same symptoms.

well thats the thing i had no other choice but to drive it, i had a meeting at work i could not miss. So far what ive read up is that it could be a bad sensor, fuel pump, or spun bearing. I think i can eliminate the spun bearing as my motor doesnt sound like any of the knocking, cluncking, or ticking ive heard on youtube on spun bearings. Im leaning towards a bad sensor or the fuel pump. Either wat im taking it to AWD motorsports tomorrow to get it checked out.
WHAT "FUEL PUMP"? You mean OIL PUMP I hope!!!

ok update, i finally found the damn sensor on the block after countless hours of looking. Now i have a quick question, it appears to me that the sensor is leaking because when i put my finger around it i get a collection of oil on my fingers. Should i put some type of sealant around the new sensor to fix this leaking?
