As you can tell I am probebly an idiot.
-
I had read that before wich gave me the idea. Are anti tamper torx bolts different than reg torx.
-
I have a 95, so I should check mine there could only be 2 sensors toward the rear(when standing in front) ais and tps.
-
If it has sensor on the right it is map. Just make sure the one I get has the same number of sensors.
-
I would rather ask stupid questions than take 2 or 3 trips to the bone yard.
-
Is there any prep I should do to the body before installing. There arnt floats and stuff right . I can get away with just soaking it in carb/parts cleaner.

I will install the higher tech airfilter tube like K&N later with the spacer when I have more disposable income. Will my current intake tube fit on this TB
Tamper-proof or Saftey Torx have a center pin in the center of teh star pattern. The drive will have a hole that it fits into. Some people knock the pins out but you can find the drives for cheap. I bought mine off ebay for $4. That was years ago, I've seen them around even at Radio Shack.
I suspect you have the MAP sensor on the firewall. It would be dead center at the top of the wall. Has a three prong plug that goes into it. The MAP on the side of the TB is fairly large and easy to identify.
You'll probably get a TB with all of the old sensors on it. You have a choice, either use those or transfer the 2.5L stuff onto the new TB. Mine didn't have any sensors or the AIS housing so I had to reuse them. What you don't want to do is mix and match parts. The TBS are the same but the AIS is different. If you use the 4.0L AIS then use the 4.0L housing. 2.5L AIS, 2.5L housing....
If you want to clean the TB then take the sensors and AIS off. Most problem come from people cleaning their TB and forcing gunk into the AIS housing while fouls the AIS plunger.
As fro the K&N, personally, I wouldn't bother. Most of the guy's who run in the desert don't like K&N's because they allow fine dust to enter the engine. A prefilter helps but that's adding more cost when a $5 paper element will work just as good. I used to have a conical K&N but stopped using it for emissions. When I did, I noticed that my engine vacuum pressure rose and the MAP worked better. Increasing the air flow, will drop the pressure so the MAP thinks there is less air entering the engine and leans the system out. You'd need to compensate for this with an adjustable MAP controller of some sort. The other side effect, I noticed was weaker brakes.
I've been thinking about routing a hose from the airbox to the front of the Jeep to act as a cold air intake. I'd be able to remove it for water crossings but otherwise, it would allow for colder air to enter the engine. In stock config, the airbox gets it's air from behind the left turn signal.
