Jeep Driver Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Title says it. Looking for intake air temp sensor. Looking around on the typical store sites and find no listings. Thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Does an 88 2.5 actually have an intake air temp sensor??? I don't think it has one. Do you have a pic of the part you are wanting to replace so we can identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah it's between the runners for 3 and 4 between the TB and the head. Looks similar to the coolant temp sender. I'll take pics later if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I actually found a couple of articles on moving it to the air box to fool the computer.........but.........just want to replace the one that's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 It appears that BW WT2000 will work......... Anyone know about the two wires? Does is matter which wire goes to which contact? I'll need to splice in a plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Pigtail is from Chrysler products '98 to '03. Will it make a difference? I don't know but it seems to get smoother and pull stronger with each sensor I've replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah it makes a considerable difference. I drove about 300 miles today down I40 chasing down another XJ and not once did I down shift on the inclines and there are plenty here in E TN. Runs about 5-8 degrees hotter too, I can tell it's leaned out a bit now. Along with a bit better mileage. With each sensor I changed out I notice a difference in the way it ran.........the only one I have not changed is the intake manifold pressure sensor, when I unplug it the engine loses idle completely so I assume it's still working. My next and last swap will be the complete throttle body. NOS is available for $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidoo_j Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That Mat sensor looks like the one for the 91-96. The resistance output values are off compared to the one for your year. It will cause it to tell the computer the air is 60 degrees colder then its actual temperature. Have you noticed a decrease in your MPG after you replaced this sensor? Idle differences???

skidoo_j Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 correct sensors for our renix system that will not cause rich idle. correct info, but have to order $30 worth of parts from them plus shipping http://www.injector.com/cart/pc/Air-Cha ... -12p65.htm The following two appear to be 3/8" pipe (verify prior to purchase) and have the correct ohm thermistor so the computer reads correctly, you will need to get the pig tail out of late 80's era chevy or buy it. Took quite awhile to find the charts for the readings. Napa Part : ECH TS5100 Schucks part : WT382 autozone: SU113 my manifold was tapped at 1/4" NPT... So I just drilled and tapped the manifold to 3/8". I did it on the truck, removed the throttle body. pushed a vacuum hose in there with the shop vac on hi and drilled and tapped away. * edit month later... I would suggest pulling the intake before drill/tap or maybe using grease on the bit in addition to the vacuum as I found some shavings on on the injector ports when i changed injectors today.
