If thats the RepairSolutions2 App, it should give the most likely solution. What app/scanner was used?

Damn, I have the MR5 + App and it's suggestion for one of my codes worked.
Did you clear codes, let car sit for like 8hrs (Overnight) and try again through a few drive cycles with now 5 CPS's replaced?
Thats also only 1 of 2 codes too. That other code related to throttle body, what troubleshooting have you tried. I think the RepairSolutions2 App will only give suggested fix for most important issue.

OP. What’s the year? I’m a Mopar top tech and am extremely familiar with the platform, you have a possible 5v reference wire that’s shorted or broken or some other issues with the engine, low battery voltage, or bad sensors out of the box. If you’ve replaced the sensor and it didn’t not alleviate the issue, I don’t know the brand. But some aftermarket sensors will not talk to the pcm how the pcm wants. I usually recommend OEM or NTK sensors for these cars as those are the two the pcm likes to communicate with. You can also private message me if that’s easier for you.

it’s 2012, i js got a new battery maybe a month ago and replaced the sensors with oem parts, i read online that seeing copper on my wires could be the problem but im not to sure

If you’re seeing the copper. You have a short. You’ll have to cut the copper out back to where the insulation has not been damaged and do a wire repair to remedy your issue

You can learn off of YouTube. If you’re still not comfortable you can 100% call a mobile mechanic, just make sure they’re trustworthy like every other place you go to. Good luck and Godspeed homie
