I just had to replace my TPS. When it goes bad, the motor will react normal for a sec or two, then the rev's will drop regardless of your pedal position. It feels like sputtering, I guess. But if the rev's are climbing and there is still power loss, it sounds like tranny slippage. Bad news.

piece of cake. I do suggest getting one from a jeep dealer. And you need some star sockets. All it is is 2 screws and a tube that eaasily connects.

Mine did something similar to this. It some times would do the revving think and vibrate like heck but not move much and other times would just sputter at 2000-2500 rpm. I ended up changing the O2 senser and all is well now.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM IT!!!!! Autozone is a bunch of frikin jackasses. I was so happy to hear it was only $30, I bought it. When I got it home, it was completely the wrong fit and part. Not even close. I took it back hoping it was just a mix up, but no. It was the part they have in their computers. I told them it was wrong, and they just said thanks. It costs about $80 from Jeep. Dont bother with anyone else. I looked around and some were asking over $100 for it. The Jeep piece is perfect. If you're not sure where it is, look next to the throttle body, just under where the rubber air intake hose connects. A small tube plugs into the bottom and two small star screws hold it in from the top. I also replaced my MAP sensor. I think my problem was a combination of the two. Good luck. PM me if you have any qestions.
