I have a 92 XJ whose engine I swapped in 2000 for a 98 HO... but all this time I've been running without engine temperature readout. The whole problem is that the temp sensor for the 92 is physically and electrically incompatible with my 98 engine. It occurred to me I could try to find the 98's engineeering/casting drawings and figure out a good place to tap a new hole- though it seems risky and like a real pain in the hiney. At one point I had a mechanic fab up an adapter to run the 92 sensor at the coolant junction (where a bunch of hoses meet - up next to the windshield washer fluid reservoir) though inexplicably, that never seemed to function properly.
I was hoping that someone here might have a particularly brilliant idea about how to solve this - or (even better) personal experience with a similar issue...
