i still havent ordered the part yet...cant seem to find it on the site there (Rockauto.com) its called the oil pressure sensor/switch right? im looking under engine but see everything other than "oil pressure sensor". When im on orielly they have it specifically "oil pressure switch" but i am not seeint that option
anywho...recently i noticed my heat stopped working. when i did the coolant and radiator change everyhing was fine until recently. i was told it could be cause the thermostat was sticking...but its brand new...so is the radiator and blower motor! The upper hose only gets luke warm even when driving for long distances. I have checked the lower hose though..ill check when i get home from my drive from work today.

The oil pressure sensor would be under the sub category like electrical sensor/relay switch (what mine was under). Here is some better pictures of the oil pressure sensor.
The heat problem, kinda sounds like the thermostat is not sealed in place, and allowing coolant to not reach optimal temperatures ( being the upper radiator hose is luke warm after driving). Is the temp gauge going up to the 195-200 mark? Assuming you bought the OE 195 degree thermostat?

What do you mean by "heat is acting funny"? Temp of the engine, or the heater inside the car?
