Decided to take the morning and hike a bit in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee (half an hour away or so). Was able to stop on the way back and deploy the awning on the side of the road for a quick meal. The newly installed Chief Products Rack, Sump Protection Plate, and Lower Front Guard weren't really needed for this trip, nor were the new lift springs and tires....... but nothing fell off so I'm calling it a successful install, lol.

I also pulled off for good the engine cover, I had tested temps with it on and off, no great change but the amount of dirt collecting in there was enough to rip it off for good, makes checks and servicing so much easier...........

Hi Drover, I know you posted this a while back, any way I was tinkering around under the lid on the week end. I grabbed out my torx sockets, started to remove the Sensor then I chickened out, thinking shit I hope it dont throw any codes removing the wiring plug, can you confirm all will be ok, cheers mate, Im probably worrying over nothing

I pulled the one out of mine late last year and unhooked the wiring to give it all a good clean fine without having any codes pop up

You would only get a code if you stuff up the sensor, the way to clean them is to flush the crud away with canned sensor cleaner, don't use a brush or poke with a stick, just the spray, sometimes it can take a lot to flush it clean, when done hang it to drain and dry, doesn't take long then fit it back in but must be dry ... same with the MAF but in these Jeeps it just needs a spray from a distance really, should never ever try to touch the sensors internals at any time.
Best to remove from vehicle trying to do it in situ will just make a huge mess.

Cheers mate, yeah I dont touch anything sensitive by fingers or foreign objects. I use MAF, Throttle body cleaner spray which suppose to clean and leave no residue, I normally spray till clean, then hang up in the sun to dry thoroughly, cheers fellas

I like to use circuit board cleaner.
