I have/had three 2.2 Daytona's that all have had the oil pressure sender
fail and it is the same part as my Dakota uses. Chances are very good that
the sensor is your problem. You can check it out by installing a mechanical
gauge or if you do not have one the sensor is cheap enough to just replace.
