XJ Starts then shuts off. Gas pedal won't respond.
Yesterday it took me half an hour to start my Jeep. It would start then shut off. When i would start it and try and give it gas the pedal was unresponsive. It is giving me a TPS sensor code but I have already changed that a couple months ago and it has been running fine. I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

Just because you changed it a couple of months ago, last week, or just now, doesn't mean it isn't bad. If you're getting a CEL that's telling you that is where the problem is, then smart money would be to start your diagnostics there.
Grab your Multimeter and test that puppy! Also check the connection, and I'd also trace the wiring for the TPS to make sure you didn't have anything wear or melt through.
What year and engine? Also, what brand TPS did you swap it out with last time?
