So, after searching I am pretty sure my problem is the TPS. I have only had the Jeep a few days, and it was running great. I decided to clean the engine with degreaser (and a hose ) so that it was clean for the tune up I was going to do. I didn't spray the water too hard on anything, but I didn't cover up anything either. So the Jeep ran fine last night when I was cleaning the engine, and on the drive home from my parents' house. Now this morning, there is a problem...
-I started the car, fired right up...but idle was like 1,800rpm!!
-The engine light came on, grrrrrrrr
-I tried letting it warm up, idle got better, but engine would stall frequently
-I tried driving, shifting (auto tranny, 4.0 liter) was horrible. It didn't shift when it needed to, or not at all
-So I drove my primary car to work, but I miss the SUV.
I am going to autozone (I know, not the best...but better than $145) to get a new TPS. I will try replacing it tonight. I have two comments:
1. Is there any adjustment for the TPS on a 1998 Cherokee Sport?
2. Could the problem be anything other than TPS?
Damn...and I was trying to save $$ by not steam cleaning. I'll clean out the throttle body this weekend.
btw, 132k miles.
