Only one, it's typically mounted the factory air filter housing. Those of us that removed that just tie wrapped ti to the brake line or something else near by.

There is a Manifold Air Intake Temp (MAIT) sensor mounted in the front center of the spider.

The one in the air filter box is Intake Air Temp (IAT) sensor.

I beleive that is the right nomenclature.

Yep, Robin is right, I didn't read very close, thought you were asking about the sensor in the air box.

Hello Barry.

Wasn't trying to step on your toes. Didn't see your post. I had the reply box up before you posted and got distracted for a while.

Sensor voltage

Hey thanks for the info

Should the plug going to the MAIT have 5 volts when engine is running or
when tested there is no power coming out of the plug even when we hooked up a resistance to it .

Look at the attached Engine Control and Sensor drawing.

Some sensors use VREF (5 Volt Reference Signal) and some don't.

MAT (Manifold Air Temp) and IAT (Intake Air Temp at filter box) are two that do not.

It's a good thing you stopped him.

Now I have a good excuse to go to New Zealand.

Can I bring my Jeep? I bet we could get into all kinds of trouble.

Thanks for the link Brownie.

Drive it like a rental, and in this case it would be.

I pay for the rental and you be the Guide.

Brownie12 - JAFA?

I was going through TSA with my computer backpack and my netbook on the way to the 747 bound for Auckland. The TSA screener called out something about too much technology and started uzipping bags. The big and little computers just sent them into some kind of internal mental process as to how they could be used to bring down the plane. After a rousing game of 20 questions, we were on our merry.

Once in customs in Auckland, my suitcase went through the X-Ray machine and somebody called out "Hiking boots!" They pulled the contaminated suitcase aside and rifled through the contents - in search of the island-threatening boots. Upon inspection of the soles, they were deemed safe to enter the country... as the tread bore no foreign matter - alive or dead. The very polite security screeners closed up the case and sent it down the line to the next screener. The next screener looked over to the previous screener "Did you check these boots!?"

It's nice to visit a place that has a completely different set of concerns.
