Oil Pressure Sensor gone bad: Remove intake plenum or no?

Thanks for all the advice.

I have big hands too so it sounds like I'm going to be taking the plenum off. Itll probably be good to clean it out and thoroughly clean the throttle body etc. I'm pretty sure there will be some oil in there.

Yeah I think it's the smart thing to do. My intake was full of oil and filthy. I cleaned everything up really good, I also put new o-ring on my injectors since my Denali had 130k. Pretty easy, cheap to do, and good preventative maintenance!

There is no sense in trying to do it with out taking the intake off. Can it be done, sure. Why would you want to make your life hell. It literally takes 20 minutes TOPS to pull the intake.

OK so I got the sensor replaced and cleaned the filter under it. Took the intake manifold off but there really wasn't much oil it it. It and the throttle body were just dirty.

I just replaced mine a couple weeks ago. I'm sure it would have been leaps and bounds easier had I taken the intake off, but where's the fun in that? The worst part was the stupid clip on the connection. Almost broke my nail off....
