100%. You can get the part at any auto parts store basically. Around 35-40 bucks. Have replaced the tps in every jeep I've owned. Your tranny won't kick down if you have a bad tps also. It's held in by two torx screws on the TB. Make sure you place it on the butterfly valve the way it came off.

From everything I've seen on this forum... and a bit of personal experience, before you put any more money into it, open up the hood, clean and ensure the viability of every ground you can find (see https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/cr...7/#post2114702) then clean and seal with dielectric grease every connection you can find. Pain in the backside, but definitely worth it.
Just poured over 300$ into mine over a no start issue when all I really needed was to clean out the connection for the CPS.
Good luck, hopefully that helps.
