underneath the oil filter housing, its seen in the second pic, there is an oil pressure sensor. It connects to that.

Another question there are two wires one goes to AFM and where goes the other one. does it goes to breather valve or vacuum control?

if you mean that they are the same plugs, then only one goes to emisscion charcoal canister. The plug for the AFM is round and like a twist lock plug. You need to be more specific on the wires you mean. There are only 7 plugs like this for the engine:

1. oil pressure
2. temp sensor
3. temp gauge
4. crank sensor
5. cam sensor
6. emission charcoal canister
7. ICV

Going off memory but this should be it.

I meant this one. I know that round one goes to AFM but the other one?
