    I'd be looking for:

    -Loose grounds (especially the ones for the Oil Warning Module, that attach ON TOP of the cylinder block)

    -Melted, nicked, bare or damaged wires for the STB Temp Sensor

    -Loose Cannon-Plug connector (dirty, poorly connected, or pins closed up too far).

    That would certainly cause the problem, if the bare portion of wire came into contact with any metal (ground) portion of the engine.
