I'll just make up an extension cable w/o cutting any connectors and see how it does. The connector is the same on the 96 MAP (round pins) but changed in 97 (flat pins).
Just to follow up on this, I did fab up an extension cable from the stock MAP sensor harness on the firewall and ran it to a new throttle body mounted MAP sensor from a 96 XJ OBDII model (p/n 56028303). Started it up (it idled fine), ran it around the block a few times until open-to-closed loop transition, then shut it off and checked for any fault codes; there were none. I've run it now a few hundred miles with zero problems. It even seems to idle smoother than it did before. It's a cleaner install for the MAP too w/o that long vacuum line that seems to get pulled off accidentally once in awhile.
