Thanks for the quick replies guys, I'm hoping it will be something simple..

I was driving in the rain last night and something went poof! a little puff of smoke came from under the front right area under my hood, the area where all the fuses and where the battery sits. Now...

There is no god, just us stuck on this rock we call Earth...

LOL..I go to O'Rielly's so often I got a few hats and a T-shirt.....these older vehicles keep those places in business...

That would be great, the nearest junk yard from here is 85 miles away.

In my Haynes manual it is called that, the one for my year XJ was discontinued, The MAT sensor, and I am having a helluva time finding what goes in there now, I know where it is and I even took it...

OK, after getting that part in finally, it doesn't connect to my wire, it is much smaller and the wire they made to adapt it was discontinued, here is the part # for the wire i need to make it...

Well I've had this Jeep for a year now and all the parts I have ever gotten for it have been '87, but thanks for all the replies guys...Maybe end of year '86 and that's why it is actually an '87??

Hmm... not a bad idea, I'll try that tomorrow since they look like they can be interchangeable.. good idea..thanks!

After looking online for hours now.. this is the closest I have come so far..

It is for a YJ but the link to it said it was...

2369

2370

There is my engine and where the MAT sensor goes..

Sorry, I don't know how to make the pictures clickable..

2368 it looks like this, and I have a 4.0 straight 6 in my Jeep , I swear to you, even the dealership was stumped..

I don't know, even the sticker on the firewall says it is a 4 cylinder, but if you open the hood of an 87 and open mine, they are identical down to the last nut...no modifications at all..any help...

I believe my MAT sensor(manifold Air Temp) is bad and I want to replace it, thing is, I cant seem to find one. The local auto parts guy tried looking it up and he can't find one either. I read ,...

Actually, it was my brake booster all this time. It had a vacuum leak inside of it..go figure.

when i put it in 4x4, my front end grinds , but, only when i turn right..anyone know why? doesn't do it in reverse if i am turning right, only going forward...

It was the key , it would turn and felt like it was unlocking but it wasn't. I kept doing this until i got it to unlock..yes! not sure how to prevent from happening again so I'm just not going to...

for some reason it wont unlock and it is snowing here, I really need to get this door open because climbing over to get in the passenger side is not an option for my wife, any ideas what i should do?

I have the same problem with my 87 cherokee.. so far i have replaced IAC,TPS,plugs, cap,rotor, mine still does it, going to put in new injectors this week, if that doesn't solve it i will have to...

That does help..Thanks..Bob..

set of 6 re-manufactured and guaranteed for life for 114.00$

not badd.....

Thanks Mudd..

The 87-90 ones are different, but i will keep looking, maybe someone else has some..:cry:

I just had an injector go out, started spraying gas out a little crack in it. I can get a new one for 52$ here in my little small town but it won't be here 'til tomorrow, I was wondering if anyone...

That's the one i did to my XJ and it took all of 10 mins, works great too..Thanks!

I need to test my fan to even see if it still works, anyone know a quick way to do this? mine never comes on and i overheat a lot lately..thanks..

Nah. that aint normal...lol.. it also surges a lot when idling, it never just purrs at idle, always fluctuates, I just can't seem to figure it out. I might have to take it to a shop and that sux...
