I was swapping my injectors, the wire that is mounted on the rear bolt/stud of the fuel rail snapped. I traced the wire from a sensor that connects to another sensor on the throttle body, and it goes all the way to the back of the motor. What sensor is this? I cannot find it on google or the forum, and I need the same to replace it. Thanks

OK. Really. Maybe the year of the Jeep? The Color of the wire? Brown with a white stripe? (wild guess). How's it running? Might be a ground wire.

sounds like the dash coolant temp sensor, does your gauge work?

Crank positioning sensor, its kind of a big deal... Fix it and your Jeep will run again!

Yep ^ what he said....

Plenty of wiring there if you are good enough with a solder iron to make a good repair. Will possibly save you $$$. Good ones are not cheap.
