Default Mopar parts or aftermarket?

I know how our jeeps can be picky with parts.i replaced my CPS with a Airtex brand.i need to replace the TPS next now my question is because my jeep is still running ruff.is my past threads I said everything I have done to it so far.Should I get Mopar brand for the TPS and then take the new CPS out and replace that with a mopar? Or is it ok if I use aftermarket.and if so what's the best aftermarket for these sensors to be replaced.i am just going down the list hoping this fixes my problem.i already dropped over 600$ replacing other parts. So basically everything from the head gasket to where I'm at now has been replaced.

Not to sound like a complete cheap ***, but i would go to your local junkyard and rob a couple of sensors from different jeeps, so your not wasting 60 bucks on something they may not fix it. just make sure that your getting the same part, i been in your shoes, and it sucks dropping a bunch of money on a mystery part,

yeah that what it seems like.it is odd cause I put the CPS in cleared the light and it was smooth and ran great on the highway.then next day turn it on pull away and engine light is back on and back to running run still misfiring same cylinders.but no stalling.so I really think it's the combination of the TPS and CPS ones fixed now then other one needs it.i just was curious on what kind to get cause new ones I found are around 20-30$ The throttle body was cleaned also.new fuel injectors for the cylinders that were misfiring.all new tune up parts new radiator new head gasket and new hoses for the radiator.

Mopar is your best bet if you can afford it. Hopefully somebody can shed a little more light on this, i think there is a way to check some of the sensors with a multimeter, but i dont really know how.

Mopar brand sensors or NAPA Echlin are the only ones I'd tinker with for a CPS. Not sure on TPS, give NAPA a shout.

The idea of JY sensors isn't that bad, actually. If you can grab a handful they'll likely be cheaper and more reliable than most of the aftermarket.
