Ok, so I've tried pretty much everywhere I can think of to find an Air Intake Temp sensor for my '89 XJ, and everyone is telling me that it's NLA/discontinued/they can't get one. I have tried the dealer, NAPA, and three other local auto parts chains. It's not a rare or obscure part, but nobody can seem to find one. Does anyone know where the heck I can get one of these things?
Source for RENIX Intake Air Temperature Sensor?

most all of the renix sensors were standard GM fare.
Find a GM sender that shares the single post configuration and has the right ohm range for the temps and you'll be all set.
Once you've done that, post back with the PN, in case I ever have to change mine

That's an ambient air temp sensor for the screen in the overhead console. I need the one that goes in the intake manifold.89xj said:

should still be able to get it from the dealer-#33002382, but it'll run you about 50 bucks...

Advance no longer has it, I just checked. They do have the CTS which operates in the same ohm range but is a larger diameter NPT. It would work if you could screw it into the intake and also swap the connecter ends.

Autozone had them in stock when I bought mine last year. About $25 as I recall.

Last time I needed one, I got it (and a batch of other spares, while I was about it) from Marren Fuel Injection online. I needed to reterminate the leads to it, so I just cut the leads off of the old unit and put the new plug (provided with the sensor) on it to make an adapter. Problem solved. It was also cheaper than any dealer, or most of the locals, as well.
I think Marren is as www.injector.com, but a quick Googling should turn them up handily. Nearly all the RENIX sensors are standard GM goodies, and most of them even use the same termination for the harness (the MAP is a standard GM part, as is the ECT, the IAC, ...)

I suspect it it is getting close to time for us to make up an alternate GM parts list for renix parts. The IAT's are no where to be found now.
