Okay so I've got a bad throttle position sensor , like always I go to YouTube watch a couple videos to make sure I don't make things worse. However this morning I'm very confused because the new sensor I bought at AutoZone last night give very specific and clear directions on installing the O-ring.
I'm going to quote the directions here: Lubricate the O-ring provided with the new throttle positioning sensor with a light grade of vegetable oil such as Crisco, Wessonor equivalent apply 1-3 drops and allow access to drain off. End quote.
I have watched 5 YouTube videos this morning of people changing the sensor and none of them show an O-ring being installed. My question is does my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 throttle position sensor have an O-ring have I gotten some bad a directions from China with this part???

 

Are you sure you got the right part? I've replaced the TPS in my 99 and never had anything like that to install with it. I would double check that first.

 

I would have said bad instructions when I got to the part about using veggie oil which is just going to get sticky.
