A buddy of mine has a Toy ForeRunner with a little V8. The starter is under the intake manifold

Just wanted to give an update and tell everyone thanks for the help!!

Finally got a day off and changed out the oil pressure switch/sensor. Got the sensor from NAPA here in town, cost just under 60 bones!! Picked up the oil pressure switch socket also...that was somewhere around 15 bucks. And these are the tools I used in the photo.

Whole job probably took an hour. I have pretty big hands so I had to remove some lines/hoses to get to the sensor. I used a 4ft ladder and leaned over the fender/grill to get to the sensor. I'm 6'3", I'm not climbing in the engine bay lol.

Here are the hoses that I removed/unhooked so I could get my hand back there. 2 of the hoses had locks on the ends and on the other I had to use pliers to pull back the clamp.

Here is a pic of the engine area...that blue thing is the plug on top of the sensor!!

Here is my wrench attached to the socket on the sensor. I had better luck with two 3" extensions than the 6". I was able to put socket, swivel, and one extension on the sensor and then connect the other extension and ratchet. Its tight!!

Anyway... I hope these pics will help the next guy!!

And thank you again to everyone for the input, It did help!!
