I have had some experience with other cars and never had trouble finding the IAT sensor. However, with my 1988 4.0L Cherokee, I just cannot find it. I looked for a 2 wire sensor located somewhere on the intake, but it seems to me that it's either hidden or placed somewhere else.

Can anybody help me?

Regards

Check the intake plenum, a few inches behind the throttle body. It's a two-wire sensor with a brass hex. Leastways, that's what it looks like on my 87, my 88, and my two 89's...

The sensor is in the intake, I have a 88 XJ and have already changed mine. It is located in the intake aft of the throttle body. It is a brass hex sticking out of the intake.

Go buy the a new sensor and with it in hand you will find it. You will do a homer simpson "doh" slap once you see it.

You can also download the Renix Field Service Manual here: RenixFSM It should tell you where the IAT is. Good Luck!!!

Found it!!!! (doh!!!)

It was jut not where I expected it... I'm used to see these on the intake "tube" or even nearer the air filter... But well, problem solved.

BTW, thanks for the manual, it will for sure come in hand in the next few months...
