I've got an entire built XJ for sale...

I may start parting it out here if I can't sell the whole Jeep but it's well built and a daily driver.
Update...No Dice! Back to the Drawing board.
Well I had the CTS installed in the block and even though it was missing for almost two year has made no difference.
I broke down and replaced my fuel pump last night in my garage with my new $200 Mopar fuel pump...and of coarse no change.
I've had...
The new motor was a 1988 Engine out of Jon Jacobs "Mad Cow" from Fort Collins, CO which was an 88 w/ 5-speed.
If anyone was at the 20th Anniversary NAXJA event in Moab you may of seen Jon's white 1988 with the chopped top, black spots and 40" Super Swampers on Dana 60 front and 14-Bolt Rear...
Update
It looks like the CTS was acutally missing...There is a plug in the block where it was suppost to be above the driver's side motor mount.
The Jeep has been running fine for almost two years without this CTS "coolant Tempature sensor" but it started acting up when I drove it 18 hours...
I just got a call and it looks like the CTS bad...of coarse there is no part available until Tuesday so I'll be heading out to Pull and Save.
I'll let everyone know for sure.

Well I've had it in a shop and they can't figure it out either...They tested the TPS, even replaced it, but still this little gremlin persist.
I'm about to install my new Mopar fuel pump as even though the pressue test ok the issue is still there.

New injectors from Napa in 2002...I was in a pickle in Moab and had to buy 6 injectors @ $90 a piece...
Obviously now we would just order a set of Mustang 5.0 injectors off ebay for $99.
The injectors are newer anyway.
It's the TPS...but I'll find out for sure on Monday.
The motor was replaced two years ago and this weird issue just started about two weeks ago...In 10 years I've never had this problem.
I'll look for the post and double check but it's looking like the TPS as was mentioned earlier in this post.
I've held off on this because I do not have a way...
I've got the exact same issue on my 1989 renix...Still working on the issue.

I think my next new parts are a new TPS and o2 sensor.
The common parts to the old and new XJ here are the o2 and the TPS...

Well I just installed a new Napa $120 EGR last night and it made no difference...It's off to Pull and Save for the EGR solenoid gizmo on the firewall, a MAT, a MAP, and and anti-knock sensor. I'll pick up a TPS or two and try those out. I'll need a knock sensor and some O2s. I think I may pick...
I'll be heading over there to harvest some widgets...thanks. I'll try the EGR first but I'll get as many sensors as I can to trouble-shoot this.
With the colder weather this morning it has been behaving a lot better...but the issue is still there.
As in maybe a ground or the whole TPS needs to be replaced...and this needs to be a OEM Mopar TPS right...no NAPA or other knock-offs?
I'll do the resistance test tonight...can I use an analog guage or does it need to be digital?

I just moved to Spokane, WA from Denver, CO and drove my 1989 Renix 4.0/AW4 Auto Cherokee 1000 miles in 18 hours. I've only been driving it a short distance to work or towing it to trail heads for the past two years so it hasn't been running at 80mph for 18 hours straight for a while.
