that's strange...i've had my jeep with water over the hood too many times to count and sitting in it, not just running thru it, no probs with the tps or any sensors. perhaps ther's an underlying issue causing ur bad tps?

I know for a fact that TPS's hate water, but not sure if you can waterproof them... Do you have hood louvers or missing splash guards that allow an unusual amount of water into the engine compartment? If it was me, I might try packing dielectric grease around the lever to see if I could keep moisture out that way...

Simple and cheap fix. Go to any sign shop (or maybe even a craft store) and cut 2 rectangles of magnetic sign sheets to fit. I got some from a buddy who has a sign business for $15. They are even strong enough to leave on when driving. Keeps rain and snow out without any problems.

Remove the TPS and rinse in alcohol.
Blow out excess moisture with compressed air (LOW psi!).
Place in warm oven, IE: ~200 degrees f.
Should dry out OK in 30 mins.
