There's a magnet under the driver seat. It's between the motor, and transmission, above the drive shaft.

We pulled the motor an replaced freeze plugs and now in the reinstall process we can't find where it goes. I know it seems simply seeing how short it is. But I can't find where to mount it!

(Pics to come) I had to take a brake got aggrevated.

 

 

That is your CPS.Back of engine,front of transmission.

Drivers side, in a port in the bell housing. Like prcherokee said, it's the crank position sensor.

 

I owe you a million man. We were bout to shoot the dam thing.

 

I love this forum. We were like its getting fuel, and she's trying wtf Is the problem!

 

Here. Note the wiring routing!!

 

That's not how mine is done. It's running great now. Just bolted it back up and she fire right up!

 

Good. Now wait til you're in the middle of nowhere and the harness gets melted by the exhaust manifold. Won't be so cocky then.

 

I wasn't being cocky. I'm just saying that's not how my harness is done.

 

Me thinks Call-_me-Jordan has a 2001 XJ. The TPS harness routing on the '00 & "01 Heeps are different than the '99, and back, XJ's.

Perhaps if Mr. Call-_me-Jordan had stated what year, engine, transmission, and body model Jeep he was working on it would have helped.

 

This. The CPS is known to fall out of where its supposed to be. Take it from someone who found out personally, reroute the damn thing if its anywhere near the exhaust manifold.

 

I got an 01 auto. I didn't know it was relevant to the motor and trans I just knew I couldn't find where it went. Mine definatly isn't by the manifold.

Off-original topic.
Can you help me find where these hook up.

Just to the rear of the battery.


This other one attaches to the firewall.

Point of attachment on firewall. The one on my Index finger, not my thumb.

 

Get rid of that Fram POS oil filter. It's pretty sad when an oil filter's best part is on the OUTSIDE. No foolin'. They're junk .

 

Wire routing is critical - the engine will not run without that sensor, and the wiring runs right past the #6 primary tube!
