Isn't there a filter screen inside where the OPS bolts in to? I heard it's an easy fix if you're already doing the OPS.

This is a 2010, but I would expect other years to be similar:


about 8 min 30 sec in.

Called the dealer about the filter... they are clueless. I'm pretty sure there is one in there. Got my sensor in the mail yesterday. We'll see if that fixes my problem.

So I finally had some time to put the new sensor in. That fixed my problem! No more crazy needle.

The old one ended up breaking in half on the way out.

Had to use this monstrosity to get to it.
