  16. hi hoping for some assistance here i presently have the sensor to my oil temp gauge sitting under the bonnet doing nothing. there was a problem fitting it at the time (said the mechanic ). I read somewhere that i may need a connector of sorts from an is200. however reading thru japanese performance i found a piece of kit which could resolve the problem...my Q is, has anyone any knowledge of these?
