[QUOTE="WestCoastDan, post: 464083, member: 23120"] I have felt like giving up on this Jeep so many times that I've honestly lost count, but the realization of how much $$ we would lose right now (as-is) using it as a trade or a even a private sale has inspired my interest in finding a repair. Today I started really searching for fixes. I saw a ton of posts in several different forums about this exact scenario that I'm going through, and while there were a ton of suggested fixes (most of which I have tried), there was only 1 post that happened to point me to a video where a guy went through the same path of attempts that I have tried so far, and ultimately he found the root cause was located under the intake manifold where the oil temp/pressure is, towards the rear of the engine. His video shows a harness that's wrapped in a silver heat shield up to about 1/2" of the connector. That, small exposed, 1/2" area had brittle, deteriorating wire insulation with exposed conductors on at least 2 of the wires. Since ours is a high mileage vehicle, I can definitely believe the wires at that sensor location have been exposed to a lot of heat cycles and could be as bad as the ones shown in the video. I'm going to pull the intake off and check the condition of that harness and connector. [/QUOTE]
