I took out a 10 mm bolt while taking out my crankshaft sensor thinking it was part of it. When I realized it wasn’t I set off to the side and decided to worry about it later. I went to put it in just now and broke it in half. Didnt think I was puttin that much torque on it but I guess it was enough. Does anyone know what this is for and if I’m in big trouble?

Looks like it holds on the FEAD? If so, I'd guess it'll be ok as long as everything else is place. Hopefully someone with more 2.3 experience can chime in...

I think that may be most likely? It’s threaded all the way in, but broke exactly in half. Everything else is in place and I haven’t noticed any issue driving it all week so I’m thinking it’s okay
