Really?! Please elaborate. I am becoming a master at the electrical system in this thing!!!! :-) I think I did read something about checking them from the TCU at their connection pins, but not really sure what I'm looking for to tell if they are good or not. I have the complete electrical...

Right!!?? Thanks I had an interesting event yesterday. So, I get home from work and put the jeep in park and the key won't turn all the way to off. I mess with the shifter to ensure it's fully in Park and then turn the key back to on then off and goes to off just fine. Should I wonder if...

That's what I think. might have to wait a couple weeks to put a few hundred bucks together, but that's what I'm going to do next. Again, everything else is running like clockwork! 117k miles, minor power steering pump leak, rear transfer case seal, very small leak(more like collecting, but no...

yes, sir, engine side is good. I have done the Trans plugs. Cleaned both with QC Cleaner and a small brush. I actually left them to dry overnight before plugging them back in. Still the shift into neutral randomly. KILLING ME!!

Just wanted to thank you guys. Jeep's running awesome! reset the TPS on the engine side. and no flair up revs at start. Still have this thing slipping into neutral intermittently, so I'm really starting to believe I have a bad solenoid. Not sure which one, obviously, so I'll buy the kit and...

I got right at 1.1 I know it's high. But I changed both battery cables, put brass ends on the terminals, cleaned the terminal ends, and even relocated the battery ground cable to be on the same stud(behind the dip stick) as all of the Trans ground connections. I disconnected all the grounds...

Ye, sir!! I'm that guys who's too proud to ask for help, so I'll read and try everything before I ask. This is why I'm stumped!! Even My wife wants to know who you are because I keep saying, "look right here in Cruiser's TIPS...!!"

Sorry, I missed this question of yours. The tranny drops into neutral at totally random times. And, it will sometimes catch right back or sometimes I will have to slow down to like 15-20 mph or sometimes even have to shut it off completely and restart. This HAS to be an electrical issue!

Thanks, guys!! First the flair up. I will set the TPS back to the correct .17 of the 4.92v, as Cruiser says and see what happens. If it does not correct the flair up, should I suspect the TPS? Even after I've gone through 3 of them, including a genuine Mopar one? I am determined to find...

now I get 4.10 output (or .88%) on the trans side and .38 output on the engine side (or .07%) At this point, she runs and drives good and starts up with not high idle at all. idles normally at around 600-750 rpms but will still slip into neutral when driving at all different speeds or times...

So, I replaced the IAC first and foremost before doing anything else. The high idle remained. Once again, I adjusted the TPS to be in the appropriate range for the trans; I got 4.62 in and 3.83 out. Perfect. But when I check the engine side of the TPS is get 4.92 in and .64 out (or .13 x...

Thank you. I'm going to have my tranny guy look into the shift bushings As for that TPS, I'm going to try again to make the correct adjustments, replace the IAC, replace the Latch relay, possibly the battery and verify the power to the TCU during operation. I'll keep you posted. Thank you...

Thank you for the reply. Good questions. My first test on the trans side of the TPS was 4.82 volts on the power side and i adjusted it to be .83 volts of that 4.86 on the output side, as required for the automatic. That, however jacked up the output of the engine side of the plug. So, i...

Ok everyone, first let me thank you all who have helped me in the past. Here we go- 1989 xj stock 4.0 automatic NP242 Had an original issue of transmission slipping out of gear at random times. Did the whole unplug the TCU and the tranny shifts fine manually. had it checked out by a pro...
