My bad on the t40. Yes it is a T60
You can take the one bolt off that's In the way which will give you a little more room but still not enough for a wratchet and socket. Your probably going to have to make something like in my picture above. Esp bc its hard to find a t60 3/8 drive. Which still even at that probably wouldn't fit. If you don't have access to a welder take your socket and wrench to any shop and they will do it for next to nothing I'd bet.

What your explaining are the exact symptoms. Mine would buck and run like crap as soon as it hit 50mph and kick the check engine light on. It's a cheap $30 part and takes all of 5 minutes to replace. Right on your throttle body.

Throttle positioning sensor would be my guess. Have had it happen to all 6 of my jeeps over the years. I replaced it on my 2000 just out of habit.

Hey guys, Gota few questions. If y'all can't answer I'll make a thread so here goes...
I have an automatic 1999 Cherokee sport 4.0 and it sat for a year before I bought it. Iv changed every type of fluid and filter in it. Ok so finally got all the leaks and stuff sorted out. It cranks ok but spotters on and off. A lot of White smoke comes from the tail pipe when run but sometimes no smoke comes out. Also when driving it when I stop sometimes it will die and have a hard time starting again. Help please!
