Yup you just cant help some people!! what is that supposed to mean? right now i am in the middle of adjusting it via your instruction. I live in a town with less than 2000 people and parts are hard to come by unless you want to drive 1 and half but i got a new meter and going out to do it now, thank you everybody who is helping me on this

 

ok so how do i ADJUST the tps, do i loosen the screws and turn it? and while doing this will i see the ohm go up or down? im new to this electronic stuff?

 

AC volts, not ohms. Read the instructions and it's real plain.

Surely out of 2,000 people, you must have a friend who knows their way around a meter.

 

its going to the shop tomorrow to throw it on the computer that way its there problem. i do have friends and got lucky one of them owns a shop with a computer..... thank you for you help. like i said i REALLY am not good with the electronic side of this crap. and worse at test (instructions) lol so please bare with me on this people and not make fun of me...

 

Take the TPS instructions to your mechanic friend.

 

took only 1/2 hour and was purring like a raped ape..... thank you all for the help i would be at a loss if it was not for you guys....... The Brand new tps i got from napa was B A D go figure. so they installed a new one and hooked up some wires that had been taken off by old owner and runs great now...... now its just time to find some new rear springs

 

I hear he can zap bad grounds from orbit, and also was once seen coming down some hill with stone tablets that said "Jeep Corp" on the front!

Chad, don't let anyone put you off! There is help here. If Cruiser suggests you adjust the new TPS, that's probably a good way to go. Your TCU is under the glove box and has a fuse there near it on the harness. You might want to check that and unplug/replug the trans control unit there. If you click on my signature you will find a deal there on that as well as some other handy stuff. Let us know how it goes. I haven't needed to mess with my TPS, but If I did I know I could get help here.


OH! Hey, we were both posting at the same time.

 

These are what I have http://autoplicity.com/products/2074...3_5_w_bus.aspx

Almost $100 cheaper than anywhere else I could find them. 4wheelparts honors the price match on these as well, I picked them up at my local 4wheelparts for $107.65 and didn't have to pay shipping.

 

This may help with the trans shifting issues:

Cruiser’s Trans Plug Refreshing

Over near the transmission dipstick tube are 2 rather large connectors. One is black and the other gray. These 2 connectors carry all the info between TPS, TCU, NSS, speed sensor, and transmission solenoids.
Unplug each one, visually inspect for corrosion or bent pins, spray them out with electrical contact cleaner and plug them back in.
　
Additionally, if your Jeep is an 87 to 90 Renix, it’s always a good idea to reach up under the glovebox area and unplug the connector to the TCU and spray it out along with the receptacle of the TCU. While you’re there, find the fuse right in that area for the TCU. Remove it and spray out it’s receptacle and clean any corrosion from the fuse.

Anyway to put this one to bed, Good call Cruiser! (him getting the TPS wet while pressure washing). A little correction, it would be AC volts checking the Renix CPS, but indeed DC for checking the TPS. (and YES, you turn it!)

its all fixed and running... i thought i had already posted i got it running?
thanks all for the help...

 

And the fix was..........drum roll, please.........

 

Wet TPS. Replaced with bad NAPA TPS, replaced again and fixed!

 

The fix was replacing the TPS, then replacing it again, and plugging in some wires that the PO had inexplicably disconnected.

Glad you got it going, Chad

Those aren't belches.
