Irratic Shifts after Kickdown (Solved)
I recently purchased a 1992 Cherokee Limited. It seems to run well but the engine bay was a mess. So, I decided to power was it and clean it up. After I did the power wash, I began getting an erratic shift after the transmission shifted out of overdrive on a hill. It would shift into 3rd like normal then immediately shift into 2nd, then back and forth between the gears until I let off the accelerator. I have checked connectors and vacuum lines and re-adjusted the kick-down linkage.......... Anyone have any thoughts........

Thanks for the quick reply......... No codes, it was done several days ago and it has been really hot here so I would think things would dry out. Where are the valves you mentioned located and I will check them out.

Well the 92 has a TPS on the intake manifold, but no IAC. instead it's got CPS. But if the CPS goes it just goes, But that aint a rule did you cover the intake and fuse boxes?
Edit- I don't own a 92, so correct me if I was wrong about any of the sensors...

I changed the TPS and that solved the problem. Lesson learned........... Never pressure clean a Jeep 4.0 !!!!!
