Pressure sender was what i was going to say, Knock sensors are usualy bigger, but as are pressure senders.

What engine?!

does your oil light stay on or come on at all??
knock sensor is something that is part of the timing system on the engine, detects detonation in the engine.

is that near the starter motor?
If its an 8v its not oil pressure, thes on the side right at the front on back of the engine, right on the pump.
