it could be alot of things but check your grounds, and make sure no "hot" wires AREN'T touching a chassis ground, or worse your ECU case. also make sure all your sensors are plugged into their respective plugs on the harness. wrong sensor in a wrong plug can fry transistors in a hurry.

What number is that? I know if you cross IAT and EVAP you fry i believe Q31. I think its in that area. But thats a bad picture you have.

Had to change EGR to EVAP.

Make sure your IAT sensor and EVAP sensor plugs are not mixed up.

On the respected sensors hopefully. IAT on the manifold, EVAP is usually on the back more on the driver side.

It is easy to mix up the IAT and the IAC they both use the same clips did you have a CEL? thats just weird, I really wouldnt be to worried about the oil in the plug oil dosesnt conduct electricity like water or antifreeze would, but dont qoute me on that i could be wrong. You should look to see where it is coming from.
