Watch Out for Aftermarket Sensors

 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!
