[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 439536, member: 18629"] My mistake, 2008 Patriot. This started with a CEL associated with an intake air leak/possible throttle body air leak. I can't recall which code it was. I sprayed intake cleaner around the the injectors which caused the engine to stumble and also around the intake manifold to head gasket and it too had leaks. Long story short the, the injector O-rings were brittle and an intake manifold support bracket lost a supporting bolt which allowed vibration of the manifold and wear and warping around the edges of the by the intake gasket. The manifold gasket to the head was one dry crispy critter. I replaced the plastic intake manifold and throttle body since that usually the most common problem along with new injector O-rings. It was one of those "Since I'm in here I might as well" replace the sensors, some of which are more difficult to get to. That's when the sensor issues started. While unplugging the oil temp sensor the guts came out of the housing as I pulled off the plug. Turns out the sensor still worked and I guess I could have JB Welded it back in place but I went with the OEM after the cheap ones failed. As a side note, just like comments, don't trust every youtube video you see either. Many are wrong and some are flat out dangerous.
