First I was having issues with the NSS. Since mine was cracked from trying to get it off last time and a buddy had a spare, I cut the wires and bypassed the NSS. No problems jeep ran fine. In the meantime I bored my throttle out to 60mm, below the valve/flapper/plate/whatever you want to call it. So the plate still seals fine. I also reset the throttle valve cable and pulled the battery terminals and turned the key to erase the computer. Put the TB back on and went for a spin. Bit more umph but lots of sputtering and engine cut in and out. Transimission shifted just fine. Repulled the negative post and checked all the connections. Now I'm just like Sammy Hagar and can't get my [XJ] out of 2nd gear. Shifts from 1st to 2nd at 4500RPMs, still has the sputtering and if I rev the engine it will drop way down and sometimes die. Almost like driving a manual and pushing in the clutch. Do I need the NSS hooked back up to get everything back to normal? How would the NSS control the sputtering and coughing from the engine?
TIA for any and all advice. Tried searching and could not find any answers on this.
