What are the sensors that you can damage while cleaning the TB on 99XJ?
Thanks

The Throttle Position Sensor on the outside is quite susceptible to damage from liquids.

Thank you so much. Are there any other sensors that can be damaged while cleaning it?
After I am done and the problem diagnosed, I will give you an account on the whole saga. I am sure there would be a valuable lesson...

That's the only very-easily-maimed sensor. Oftentimes, a thorough pressure-washing will even kill it. There are scads of sensors under the hood, but safe money usually goes there first. And usually doesn't need to go much farther.
