98 Fuel Injector or Transmission Issues
So I bought a 98 cherokee and it is now having issues driving and the check engine light is on. Its a 6cyl, 4 door, automatic with about 160k miles. It starts and idles fine, accelerates to between 20-30 mph without issue but then doesn't seem to want to go any further. Had my friend check it out and he says it definitely needs a fuel injector but he hasn't had the time to pull apart the whole transmission. Any ideas on if the fuel injector is doing this or if its a bigger trans issue? Thanks

Are there any codes stored? What led him to a fuel injector? Not sure where the trans issue fits in...transmission and fuel injectors are not related.

ill go grab some codes today. but i guess my question is would the fuel injector effect my vehicles ability to go over 30 mph or does that have to be a transmission issue?

Apparently I misunderstood him cuz we just talked about it again and he said the codes that came back indicated it could be the throttle position sensor. I know where that is and how to do it, could that cause the problems I am having? Anyone had to replace that before?
