Out of curiosity.....Which side was your sensor on?

We spent a lot of time looking for the sensor because all the references
show it on the passenger side and we could not find it there..

I am not sure if I have spoken to anyone who also had it on the driver's
side and I think there was some disbelief here in the newsgroup till I
posted the photos of the location.

Little Eddie's '96 ZJ Grand Cherokee had the failure symptoms starting to
appear a few weeks after we replaced Ed's CPS and he paid a shop to replace
it <sigh>

To my knowledge it's always been on the drivers side, 11 o'clock up
by the fuel lines.
