Aftermarket sensor are not always assured to work. We have an Elise in here that was not running properly. The client sent the car to two different shops including a Lotus Dealer and was unable to get it sorted.
We got the car and after checking the usual components, Jorge noticed that the Oil Pressure sensor on the VVL looked a bit different. Upon closer inspection, you can see the orifices are different sizes. We installed a factory sensor and the car started to behave as expected!
