I checked everything else and it looks like it is the clock spring, and now it is throwing a TPS code and running like crap There is a nice $400 bill I am going to have to find a way to pay for. Doesn't help that we are in our slow period at work and for the next couple months I will be on reduce or no hours

 

Get a used clockspring.. Many people have them on here for under $50 and a TPS is about $30 from any parts store

 

I am in Canada, TPS are selling for $80 up here, and the only JY XJ that I know of doesn't have cruise control. Huge price difference if you have cruise

 

cleaned the IAC and tested the tps with a digital multimeter, seemed to transition fine. also cleaned the throttle body and it still does it. i got a video to put up

 

 

watch the fuel pressure when you do that

either the sensors are not detecting the change in air flow or the fuel system can't keep up with the change

 

could the tps still be bad even though the voltages seemed fine? BTW i just remembered that this started happening after the cam synchronizer ate the cam sensor so i had that entire shaft replaced. I did tune it in for the timing.
