    Yes it will. Try inspecting the wire and connector to the sensor. Unplug and re-plug. The shop manual will show you how to diagnose whether it is the sensor or the wiring. Avoid driving until this is fixed or you risk damaging the catalytic converter. this could also be the source of misfiring.

    Thank you for the advice, Dave. I was dead set on changing the valve cover gasket and it being the source of the misfire lol. The reason was because I was reading other sources on the internet and they said the gasket could cause misfire. I checked the shop manual and it said to address other codes first before the misfire codes. I ignored that P0348 code and went for the P0300 misfire codes first. Took out that sensor and what do you know, it has 30ohms resistance.

    Had I changed that gasket it would’ve been a nightmare! Although cylinder 5 has a ton of oil inside of it.

    You should still fix the oil leak!

    It’s too much work, Dave! My hands can only take so much beating. Also, should I replace the PCV valve?

    You can test the PCV valve operation by pulling the pcv hose off the side of the valve that is not attached to the intake manifold and see if there is steady flow of air being drawn in to the valve. PCV valves tend to last a very long time.
