I have a problem that started about three weeks ago. I will be going a steady speed above 30 MPH and then my torque converter releases and the engine starts revving to high RPMs.
If I let off the gas it will go back to normal in a few seconds or sometimes I just power through it until the converter catches again (depending on the traffic I am in). I am suspecting that the TPS is going bad (which sucks because I replaced it 5 years ago)
Its a 1990 XJ 4.0 4x4 with 260,000 miles. This has been my daily driver for the last 8 years and I have done all the maintenance/repairs myself. I cleaned the IAC and am about to go through my yearly "pass emissions" tune-up where I plan to take off the throttle body and clean it along with replacing the O2 sensor, cap, wires, and plugs.
Between work and school I will not have any time to look at it until Saturday so I thought I would get others input on it.
