Not immp. to get a bad (new part) but im leaning to unlikely. I believe the CPS is inductive p/u so a multi meter would be the way to get the correct reading. Also the conn. needs to be very clean. Not assuming , just reminding!
backhalfeds10, Any luck on your No spark problem yet?
I have an 88 cherokee chief with the same symptoms.
Just starting to try to diagnose. No sparky yet.

It seems that my 91 Cherokee, with a 4.0 HO inline six cylinder, has an intermittent reverse gear. and it is automatic. 
Every other gear works perfectly fine, we did a flush and transmission filter change 3/17/09. One day the reverse gear stopped engaging. Although it seems from the sound it is engaging in the transmission, most of the time i can floor the accelerator and no movement other than just a slow roll. Sometimes it engages and i have reverse but, it doesn't have all the power it had before this problem arose. Any ideas as to what is causing this? And what exactly is a TPS? Could this be a problem?
