Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
I looked at the check engine code, I got a 13 - MAP sensor.
Seem like that would do it? Or should I replace the MAP sensor, not
expecting it to fix the current problem?

I have to replace 'em, since I shattered 'em. I broke the CCV air
outtakes on both the XJ and YJ and a heater hose coupling (don't know
exactly what it's called, it's four hoses coming together with a small
vacuum).
The rubber on the YJ CCV piece was obviously dried out, so I'm not
surprised that broke when I tried to put it back in. The XJ CCV piece
snapped when I pulled on it not very hard.
The hose coupling shattered when I tried to move it out of the way so I
could get to either the #4 or 5 spark plug.
I didn't put much force on either of the XJ parts and they basically
shattered.

Fix the vac leaks first. And make sure the hose to the map sensor
isn't cracked as well.
With as many cracked vac lines as you have it would probably
be worth buying all new from the dealer (if they have them)
Surprisingly they aren't that expensive. :/

Re: Oil pressure problem fixed
Interestingly, it's not the lines and hoses that are cracking. They all
seem to be in pretty good shape (I think I'll replace them anyway, I
don't know how long they've been there). It's all the couplings that
keep snapping. Stupid plastic.
The engine was acting the same way before the recent round of shattered
couplings, which makes me think they're unrelated, but a PITA
nonetheless. Or maybe they were cracked before and I just helped 'em
the rest of the way along.

Before you replace the sensor, pull the tube off the throttle body and run
a stiff wire through the fitting to make sure that isn't plugged and the
tube is clear. Then clean the MAP sensor plug really well - same as the IAC
and TPS connectors.
