Is it possible that the throttle position sensor is upside down? I took that out and cleaned it

Check the intake manifold that it's seated properly FIRST.

And don't over-torque the bolts. You don't want them broken.

I have a problem with my jeep (98 Cherokee classic). Sometimes it have starting problems. If I leave it sitting over night and then try to start it in the morning it starts fine, but when I drive it somewhere and hour or two later try to start it again it wont start, it will turn over and you can get it started by keep on pumping gas pedal. I have new battery and my started and pos and neg cables are fine. Last year Ive replaced all the sparkplugs and leads, distributer cap and rotor. Also my temp gauge fluctuates a lot sometimes it wont show anything at all. Please HELP!!

Anyone happen to know what oil/temp senders I need for my new gauge cluster? 96 XJ if that matters. I think the cluster came out of a 93. and it's a full cluster w/ tach.
