I tried searching for my symptoms but couldnt come up with an exact solution so I decided to post...
I picked up a 97 XJ 2 door for 500 bucks from a neighbor. The thing ran fine when I first got it. I took it through some trails with puddles and a little after that I got a C/E light. I got it checked at autozone and it said that the TPS is faulty or shorted out etc etc. Well I took the TPS off of a 93 4.0L ZJ and it connected fine but the same problem occurs...While pressing the throttle anymore than slight pressure, the engine seems to cut off completely then kick back in and cut off, almost as if something is stopping gas from getting to the engine. Also on startup it revs quite high, around anywhere from 1200-2000.
Should I go and buy a new TPS (Id rather not waste the 53 bucks) or do you believe there are other problems at stake here?
