Angry NEED HELP!!

Hi guys today my jeep died on me. I started it up and as i was going to exit the parking lot at my job it died on me, i tried to start it and it would just die it would start and immediately turn off. I popped the hood and wiggled the tps sensor and tried starting it again, it started but it was idling really high so i turned it off wiggled the sensor again and it worked as if nothing ever happened. Now my question is how do i properly adjust the sensor? im scared it will happen again. by the way its an 89

Well if you wiggle the TPS and it starts but runs weird just maybe that could be a starting point. Get a volt meter and test it out. The TPS on your 99 is not adjustable you have to replace it.
