Finding a hard to find part.

[jafo]

Been working on my TAC system. It is the system that assists engine warm up. I am having trouble finding the temp sensor part that's locates in the air breather next to the air filter. It allows vacuum to close the flap and take heated air from the heat riser into the snorkel. I have checked Autozone and Napa thus far. Napa had the picture of the exact part, but was discontinued. I woupd like to at least get this working properly. Is there a different one from another make that would cross over?

Yep. Dead end after dead end. I figure boneyard is probably about what I already have or close to it.

I would have thought someone, somewhere has some in stock. Maybe bought out an old parts store. All the locally owned parts stores here are ling gone. This is what they were good for. Napa is about as close as you get to the old APA store with counter books and countermen who actually "know" vehicles. With all the fuel injection systems around no need for them anymore.

If you don't have any luck with those guys, try Watson and Sons in NC. Between those two, I've always found what I needed.

I found this website a few days ago and know nothing about them. www.cj5.com I've never done business with them and don't know if their reliable or not.

Not sure if this is what your talking about or if it would work for a Jeep.
