I've had some issues with my 'oil pressure switch', and they seem to be my fault (not changing the oil with enough regularity.)
There are some serious consequences to having a faulty switch - the most notable being that the Element will lose all throttle control (although the engine remains running) above 60 mph.
Imagine you're cruising at 75 on a busy highway and your gas pedal no longer responds... you're slowing down and slowing down with a line of 18 wheelers following you.
Trust me, it's breathtaking. Not in a good way.
CHANGE YOUR OIL REGULARLY (I just had that embroidered into my wallet.)
So.
Has anyone replaced an oil pressure switch DIY?
