I can only answer your first question, the 15 is + the 1 is -. Check your wires to make sure the red is + and black is -.

whats the difference between a type 1 and 3? there is a little bump and circle where the hole should be but its just flat not tapped. i really dont want to go w/o the oil sensor.
