1999 XJ, 2.5L, 5 speed.
Problem: Yesterday, driving at 70 on highway, engine sputtered a little, “check engine” light came on. Sputter has continued occasionally, and engine light has stayed on.
Put friend’s OBDII scanner on, code said throttle position sensor circuit high (P0123).
I’m pretty sure I can replace the TPS myself. I’ll be searching archives etc.
Question: Could the TPS been fried from a bad jump start? Two months ago I helped an elderly couple, their cables were crossed, I didn’t check the set-up :doh: (but jeep seemed fine since).
Or can a TPS be damaged from bad gas? I filled up at Thort*** in suburban Chicago two days ago. After leaving the station, I passed the Thort*** tanker on the road (I assume he just filled the station).
Any comments welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
Ronnie
