Why does my Chrysler 3.3L engine make a rattling sound?

Any debris that ends up in the crankcase will also be sucked into the oil pump (which is unfiltered) to cause wear there, too. A tapping or rattling sound from the middle area of the engine following a cold start can be caused by a slow buildup of oil pressure.

When did Chrysler start using a different O2 sensor?

In July 2004, Chrysler began using a different O2 sensor that operates with a 100% duty cycle on the O2 sensor heater circuit. Install the older style sensor and it will set a P0135 code. Chrysler TSB 18-010-05 covers a PCM reflash fix for this.
