Sputtering when accelerating over shifting
Took my 200o grand in for this problem the first time they cleaned the throttle body and seemed to be fine for two weeks took it back for the same issue now they say it's the oil pressure sensor I haven't picked it up yet but wondering how and if the oil pressure sensor can cause sputtering or skipping when accelerating ? Thank you in advance

Old fart with a wrench
If it's sputtering WHILE accelerating, it could be the spark plug gaps are too wide, blowing out the spark under high cylinder pressures. If it's sputtering only after reaching high rpm's, it could be a fuel pressure issue.
You can unplug the oil pressure sensor and the only thing that will happen is you'll get a chime and a "check gauges" light on the dash. It won't even set a MIL code.
