Where is the map sensor on a 2002 liberty

question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

No, it uses MAP instead.

What's the 2007 Jeep Liberty mass air flow sensor location?

The 2007 jeep liberty does not use a mass air flow sensor but instead employs a map sensor located in the intake manifold. Like. (1). Leave your answer.
2 answers · Top answer: The MAP sensor in the 2007 Jeep Liberty is located below the air conditioner..

..

all jeeps use a MAP sensor
"speed density system" ways and means.
and all race with air leaks, (aka. vacuum leaks) with full power.
did you scan the PCM first?. that be first in every case.
if not , you work totally blind. (must we?)
no engine stated. (size and fuel matters)
making accurate answers impossible.!

2004 Cherokee, not here, not in USA< on this USA forum.
my guess its really a

"KJ / Since 2002 The Liberty (called Cherokee outside USA, very odd that)"
so to USA readers its a Liberty. for sure.
in what country ive not a clue, nor what engine options
they use THERE.

i have the 2002,and 05 KJ FSM book.
i see the exports have diesels. got diesel?
our KJ have 2.4L or 3.7L engines.
both race , with vacuum leaks.

one leak that can happen (not guessing)
1: throttle plate gunked up and now leaks air, because the throttle can not close fully.
2: ISC stuck open. (idle speed control valve)
3: vacuum hoses cracked, or just fell off.?

and 50 more ways to leak air, huge.. .in the real world.
we pinch hoses and use propane gas to find leaks
or the smoke machine.

no engine size stated, so impossible to be detailed
and anonymaous, too boot.
i bet you already asked and got an answer , on older post.
why do that that to expert help./?

Go to autozone and ask for the wiring diagram. They will print one for you for free. If you dont have an autozone near you try another parts store. If you purchase a haines of chiltons manual ($25 in a retail store or $18 on amazon), it will have a detailed wiring diagram of the MAP sensor.

Good Luck!

Should be bolted to the right front side of the engine head.

The right side is as you are sitting in the drivers seat. Anytime car parts are labeled left or right it is as viewed from the driver's seat.

It you are facing the front of the engine it will be on your left.

I would start with cleaning the throttle bore and plate. Then clean the Idle Air Control valve, IAC, as this is the device that controls idle speed. Use a can of spray carb cleaner and an old toothbrush. Trouble with the IAC would make sense if you can keep the engine going by holding down the gas pedal a bit.
Use the carb cleaner to check for vacuum leaks at hose connections and elbows. run engine and spray short bursts at hoses and listen for idle speed changes.
And lastly if problem is still there check MAP sensor.

Are you looking for a certain sensor? What engine?

there is no timming tool, timming is set and maintained by the engine controller. there is also a map sensor on the front of manifold.

Can't tell you exactly what is wrong but the one thing you said is of concern...Map sensor should not be full of oil. If it is, I'd want to know why. In finding the reason for that, you may also find the reason why you are having a problem.
Jeep uses two kinds of engine crank venting. you either have a pcv valve or an orifice controlled system. If either are obstructed it can overpressure the crankcase and cause all kinds of problems.
Years of experience tells me this isn't something I can guess at and be 100% sure I have the right answer but based on what you said, I'd look there first!

The MAP sensor (MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE) changes voltage or frequency as intake manifold pressure changes (air flow increases or decreases). The engine's computer uses the reading to advance or ****** engine timing. On older, non-fuel injected engines the vacuum advance on the distributor did basically the same thing.
The MAP sensor also works with other sensors on the Jeep engine, specifically the Throttle Position Sensor (on the throttle body) and Crank Position Sensor (on the transmission bell housing) to control other fuel flow and ignition timing functions.
If you're having problems with the MAP sensor, or are getting a Check Engine light and code for the MAP sensor keep in mind that other problems may cause that error code.
Bad vacuum hoses, vacuum leaks, bad EGR valves, intake manifold leaks, clogged air filter can all affect the MAP. sensor. To know for sure all the other sensors should be checked for correct voltage and perimeters
Also, if you have done any mods to the engine, especially intake, exhaust and ignition mods you may get an error code for the MAP or incorrect reading and a resulting loss in power or increased fuel usage.
The map sensor is easy to change with a couple screws off the Throttle body.. The part the air inters (the air breather). Buy one from the auto parts store if your sure that is the problem and just replace it..There is no adjustments to it...

It really sounds to me that you have a small vacuum leak in a line somewhere.You can try spraying the motor vacuum lines with soapy water with the vehicle running to find a leak. Also listen and feel under the dash for leaks and hissing sounds.
Hope this helps.......
