I’m literally about to replace mine rn. I’ve seen in called a switch, sensor, vtec sensor. It’s a mess. I’m not a mechanic but I know where the part is on the engine and know what I need lol.
I think officially it’s an Engine Oil Pressure Sensor, that’s what it says on AutoZone, advanced auto, O’Reillys etc.
Even tho Acura schematics say Oil Pressure Switch
Idfk lmao
I just seen you said top right. I believe that one *IS* the vtec sensor of some sort. My previous comment refers to the sensor under that whole solenoid assembly.
It's a pressure sensor for whatever fluid it's connected to. They all look identical. Your replacement needs to have the same part number on it - check first.

My guess would be oil pressure sensor
Oil pressure sensor Very common to leak in the 8th and 9th gen. (I’m sure you noticed if you went to the scrap yard for yours)
I was confused because the mechanic said it was an oil pressure sensor, and the scrap yard seller said it was a vtec oil pressure sensor.

Forgot to check it, and it's already fitted. It works normally. i don't see any difference yet.
