The TPS was brand new about three months ago. When i took the old motor out, i had good output voltage. I had it tuned to EXACTLY .83 of input.

So i did my best to reground the TPS. I piggy-backed the wire next to the connector, and ran it to the firewall, and also soldered another wire to the junction inside the harness, and ran that to the firewall. My harness was not set-up the way cruiser54 described it in the tech write-up. there...

So after I bring the 6 wires together, there will still be a seven wire headed towards the dipstick ground, right?

I just got done dropping a H.O. out of a 96 in my 89. Ive been working out the glitches, and right now it seems as the only problem left is a bad output voltage from my TPS. Im trying to figure out the process for regrounding the TPS, and i was wondering if anyone had that procedure write-up. Thanks

DUDE! I did the resistance test on the TPS ground, and i did it several times to verify, and im getting over 10 ohms of resistance in my TPS. I even when to the friendly jeep specialist shop down the road and verified that i had my multi-meter on the correct ohms setting (200). Also, this guy...

BTW, i tought myself how to solder, just like i tought myself everything else i know about mechanical work. When i got my first XJ 4 years ago, i didnt even know how to change the oil on a car. But out of shear necessity, and a little help from google and NAXJA, you can see where im at today

Please tell me that if i have to reground the TPS, it just goes around the back of the head to the dipstick ground. Wiring harness repair scares the crap out of me.

OH! A negative symbol if its backwards? That makes sense

In the TPS write-up, it describes how to test the three-wire connector for auto and manual. But one thing it doesnt say is what lead of my multi-meter goes in B or C, etc. Do you have that info?

Thanks cruiser. I did test the four-way connector that goes to the TCU, as i have done this test several times before. Im getting 4.7 input, and virtually no output. My first thought was that i have a faulty TPS, but then i read a few other forums on here where guys had low output voltage, and...

No one?

First off, im about 99% certain the 89 renix is PRE-obd1, and second, i cant move the thing two feet without it dying. Im not getting any output voltage from the TPS< so thats fairly conclusive, yeah?

I just got done putting a 96 H.O. in my 89, and after working out some issues, i got it to start. But when it is running, if i take my foot off the gas, it immediately dies. So i got out my multi-meter, and ran a check on the TPS. Im getting a solid 4.7 input, so if i times that by .83, my...

New issue.. whats the first place to look if you have a parasitic battery drain?

CCV orifice? elaborate please
