Replaced TPS - Idle now much worse
Hey guys
New to this forum, but not new to Jeeps. I'm limited in my knowledge on this stuff, but I was hoping for some tips.
1996 XJ inline 6 4.0 liter automatic. 250k on the engine, but she was running without issue.
I was having some issues with sputtering while driving. Engine wouldn't stall, but would cut out the power down to 500/1000 RPMs. This happened with a cold engine, a warm engine, back roads and on the highway. Also, no CEL was thrown.
I replaced the dist cap, rotor, wires. Plugs looked OK. Cut in a new catalytic converter and muffler. Still had the issue.
Then last night I replaced the TPS. Went to start her up, now the idle is really rough, all over the place, and she throws up a CEL. The TPS is a new part from Advance Auto.
Any ideas what the issue is? She sounds like she's sucking in a LOT of air since I changed the TPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
