Air intake maf

Wrangler. Cardone says there is not one? why not say why you think its bad, or why you want one,????? a science fair experiment? great question. are you in USA< locations matter , buying parts!!! but you failed to say what engine? 4L or 2.5L (neither have a mAF) the both engines, I have both i 2 cars. use MAP sensors. The speed density system. neither use the Air density system. let me guess, car runs crappy and guy on bar stool said, bad maf. rigth. (just joking, it was a web bunny guy who said it) better is to post the symtoms and ask for wild guessing or ask for the tests, (me) and never pick the most expensive part on top change , guessing. try a tuneup first.

Where are the drain and fill plugs on the manual transmission of my 1990 jeep yj it has a 4.2 -6

There should be a plug on the bottom of the transmission to drain and a plug on the side to fill it. No spark could be a relay or the coil among other things. You may need a shop manual and wiring diagram to troubleshoot the ignition system.

With the key turned on and the engine off, the fuel pump stays on.

its a bad fuel pump relay. replace it with another relay. you can also take or like fog light relay and replace it with that or replace it with something less important like horn relay.

New alternator wont hold a charge is there a

If you have a fuse it will be in the power distribution center near the battery main fuses and relays are inside.
Check the charging system with a volt meter right at the battery. Battery standing charge should be no lower than 12v if charging you should read between 13 and 14 volts running, about 13 with all electricals turned on. If not, the alternator isn't working OR the regulator has failed. (some regulators are part of the main computer but you need to check which system you have. AND do check for fuses.
If charging system is working you may have a system draw that is pulling the system down overnight. Check that with an ammeter between either cable (removed from battery) and battery connection...pull fuses one by one till draw disappears then check components in that system. Don't be concerned with "low Draw" items such as radio that always pulls something to keep memory and clock working.

No fire i have changed cap and button ignition module and i am getting power to the coil

If the check engine light does NOT come on when cranking, at the times when it won't start, and the relays are clicking and buzzing, then your ECU is in need of repair. The engine will only start after the check engine light comes on and the ecu is what controls that. ECU is likely going bad, causing the delayed start problem typical of early 90's jeeps. Reasonably priced repair or replacement services for your jeep ECU are available on ebay.
