Suggest to check ALL fuses before you start with anything else, also have the T.P.S checked maybe. I have heard of not being able to link with the computer because of a blown fuse before

Where is the NSS on the 99 and how do you adjust it? I think i need a new computer because i have put in 5 new TPS and all end up not working sometimes my jeep will go into over drive and sometimes not. and the shifts seem to be off. just had the tranny swapped. it works fine if i shift it, but when in drive seems like i have to gas it alot!! it seems if its starting in 2nd gear or something. while in drive
