[T3] Oil in Pressure Sensor


A couple of days ago I had a recurrence of my old no-start/missing episodes.
Seems to have come up every 100-200 miles or so.  I had inspected in detail
and changed out just about every FI component except my pressure sensor.
See, the coil windings had tested at the right resistances and the diaphragm
held vacuum, so I figured it was OK.  Yesterday I finally had an opportunity
to swap the pressure sensor out with another.  I'm back to smooth running
now.

I took my old PS apart and found it to be full of oil.  My air cleaner has
never been overfilled since I've owned the car (9 months), but maybe in an
earlier phase of the car's life...

Has anybody had experience with intermittent missing and intermittent
no-start trouble and traced it to an oil-filled pressure sensor?  Will oil
in the windings cause it to send intermittent screwey signals to the ECU?
Just wondering if that could have been the source of my problems.  Any input
is appreciated!
