Long story short I pulled the engine on my 98 Cherokee. It's a 4.0L. After reinstalling said engine I could not find a home for this plug. It is on the drivers side near the back of the throttle body. I have everything connected to the throttle body. I cannot for the life of me figure out where this goes. I know that I messed up by not labeling it. Does ANYBODY know where this damn thing hooks up at????

Oddly enough my Jeep will crank but will not start. I have no doubt this is the reason why.

 

I would've taken a picture of the wiring before you disconnected it, but yes, I would think that that's why your Jeep won't start.

 

could the crankshaft position sensor plug into that?

you might overlook that connection easily and without it the vehicle will not start.

 

^^^ Agreed.


The CPS pigtail is probably not connected to the last fuel rail bolt and is dangling down by the bell housing.

 

Turns out it was the crank sensor. I couldn't find the connection because the pigtail had come out of the sensor. It almost looked like the wires had been cut...which is weird because I didn't cut them. Darn gremlins I guess! But thanks for the advice guys!

 

i have to replace mine when i can get a chance. been way to hot in florida to do any work outside in the heat. right now my jeep is dead in the water becasue of it.
