89 Tercel

I do not know the specific location of the oil sending unit on your car, but it should not be too difficult to find on a 4 cylinder engine. The oil sender is unlikely to be on the side of the engine with the exhaust manifold or on the back side of the engine where the transmission is mounted, so that leaves the front of the engine and the side of the engine opposite the exhaust manifold as likely places to start looking. If the sender does not turn up there, then look on the side with the exhaust manifold and at the back.

The oil sender is a cylinder about 1-1/2" in diamer with a single wire coming out the top.

I found it on the exhaust side towards the back. I had to get a flashlight to find it. It was shaded too much to see it without one. I replaced it and the new one works.

Thanks for the advice!
