OK first a little background...
bought this jeep a couple weeks ago, 87 cherokee laredo 230k miles, 4.0 automatic. The guy said it had developed an intermittent stall/restarting problem. Sure enough, she'll run like brand new money most times, but on occasion it'll just totally die then won't restart. Walk away, come back an hour or day later, starts like nobody's business.
Long story short, I've found the coolant temp sensor is unplugged and the plug nowhere in sight. To be more clear, this is the sensor in the side of the block sending coolant temp to the computer. What I do have is 2 wires sticking out the protective jacket of a harness in pretty close proximity but just sticking out, no connector. Is there anyway to find out what color wires and how many hook into that sensor? Looks like maybe it got chewed up into the axle or something, dunno just guessing.
Any help at all would be most appreciated. Pretty sure I'm well on the way to solving this problem if I can get that little jewel hooked back up.
