Default F@#$%^ MAP Sensor!!!

SO, I went to do my first maintenance of my new (used) '03 PT GT today, I changed the oil and figured while I was at it I would change the plugs. Bad idea!!! While pulling out the one of the plugs, I bashed the MAP sensor and broke the sensor part of the connection. All the pins and stuff are busted.

I am so pissed.

Not to mention I had to use a hammer on my ratchet to get the oil drain plug out, and a strap wrench to get the oil filter off. Wouldn't want any of that oil leaking out, would we?

Thankfully, my dad works at the Tech Center, so he has found a new MAP sensor for me (I should have told him to get me one of the 3 BAR sensors, heh), and I'll get it this afternoon and put on the new one.

But dang, that's a silly place for that thing. It's just asking to be broken off. It sure is cramped under that hood.
