Default OBDII code help

Hey so i just bought my jeep and it was throwing multiple codes, I pluged it into my scanner and found out it was the radiator fan relay, a/c clutch relay, the O2 sensor was unplugged, the EVAP purge solenoid, and the nuetral saftey switch.

I fixed all the problems expect the evap solenoid and the NSS (havnt bought them yet) but when I plug my scanner in it reads code P0121 TPS pedal position.... any ideas on how to fix that or waht to do?

Truck is a 99 xj Sport 4DR 4.0L I6

All I can tell you is I got a code 121 and 123 a few weeks back (as well as high idle speed on start up, lock up torque converter not locking up and cruise control not working).

I replaced the TPS and that didn't fix it. I cleaned the inside of the throttle body with carb. cleaner and a toothbrush.

Right now its running fine again (no codes and everything works) with the original TPS re-installed.

There was a black ring of crud built up in the throttle body. That's what the carb cleaner and toothbrush cleaned out.

NSS can be cleaned (I guess you have not yet priced a new one!)
