THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (JEEP/DODGE 5.2/5.9 V8)

[@thegreattmalinko]

Bud, thank you for being there for us. You are a good teacher and a great content creator 👏 frfr thank you

[@johnscreekmark]

I'm so glad you work on this 5.2L Engine. I replaced the fuel injectors in my 5.2L Durango based on your video. Many thanks!

[@exquisitearangement]

My 2000 5.9 magnum ram has an erratic idle, and intermittent whistling and sucking sound along with power loss. It normally runs normal after reaching operating temperature. I recently acquired the truck as a project for my son, so no history. Thanks my man, love your channel.

[@maxl5657]

I can’t tell You how grateful I am for your knowledge. Thank You!

[@paulbuckles5353]

Great instruction. There is also a good argument to spray in some Electrical Contact Cleaner on the contacts before fitting the new sensor.

[@ast-og-losta]

Great content and communication. Just great. You have a real talent at this.

[@rklrkl1617]

That’s how a help video should be made. Simple to the point and professional. Great job. I have a 96 5.2 Limited. Was looking for info on cleaning air flow sensor and this popped up. But your explanation could explain a common issue in these such as won’t go into reverse unless in sits in R for a few mins and won’t shift from 2nd to 3rd until driven for a distance then letting off of the throttle quick. How do you troubleshoot the throttle position sensor? How do you meter it to check it? Would like to see you clean air flow sensor on same Jeep (96 preferably)

[@wblake22]

Those symptoms could have you thinking something else is wrong. Do that set off the check engine light?

[@barricadegarage5361]

Yes, in most situations youll get a check engine light

Mine too! I take it off to clean and realize the missing of the rubber ring and the gasket... what we can do??

Muy buen video barricada de garage saludos

[@bahataa1]

Hey Barricade, I need a hint. I started having problems with shifting gears and engine stall/ cut off randomly. I decided it had everything to do with the TPS and replaced it but the engine stalled again. Then changed the IAC motor and the stall and cut off dissappeared. The next morning when I started the engine, the rpms went to 1.5k and the check engine throw code 23 (TPS voltage...) and the gear shift was not happening properly. When the engine reached work temperature, everything got ok. Now I wonder whether to blame the new TPS or to change the intake air sensor. Both coolant sensors on the block have been changed. Not sure what except the TPS governs the gear shift and idle and where the temperature reading comes from. Or should I calibrate something TPS/ IAC? When engine gets to work temp, all is ok.

[@barricadegarage5361]

Try pulling the throttle body and cleaning it with TB cleaner and a q-tip. The area where the IAC valve is housed may have alot of build up. Also check the condition of the wiring. Its also a good idea to make sure your battery terminals are clean and making good contact and if possible do a voltage drop test because a bad alternator can give you those symptoms before completely going out on you as well.

[@barricadegarage5361]

Its also possible you installed a defect sensor

[@bahataa1]

@@barricadegarage5361 I know for sure my alternator is going bad, because now & then the check engine light comes on and the charge gauge is sitting to 12V. I rev it up to the limiter in order to fix it and start to charge again and it's ok for the next couple of weeks. Battery terminals are old and need to change it. What's most curious is why it's running bad till it reaches proper temperature. Do we have the battery temp sensor or any other temp sensor that might read bad?

[@barricadegarage5361]

@@bahataa1 I dont know but I would start by cleaning my terminals with a wire brush and making sure the connection is solid with the battery

[@BabyfaceChase]

I ordered the TPS sensor for my 96 GC 5.2 but it didn’t come with a gasket. I’ve seen in other videos that there wasn’t a gasket on the sensor with their 5.2...so does this really require a gasket?

[@barricadegarage5361]

The mopar sensor for the '93-96 models dont come with gaskets because its built in.. For the '97-'98 models the sensor will come with a gasket, some will be the o-ring or paper

I have the same kinda zj but I have a problem every day once it worms up an I drive it it always eventually idles at 1K ...u think it's the tps

[@barricadegarage5361]

That sounds like an Idle air control valve issue. The best way to figure out the problem is to look at the live data from a scan tool but heres a quick video to familiarize yourself with the IAC and its function kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z33dfmOjp9p_b6M

Have you had to adjust the throttle valve cable on this 5.2? If so what is the process?

Left my jeep running for 3 hours with AC on. Do you think that would have messed anything up. It did not overheat but I was above halfway. Also where should i go get the front steering components? Need the all lol

Also ready to see you change the CPS. If you do a video on that it was a fun one for me

The engine works harder with the A.C running so its normal for it to be just a tad past 210 degrees but I wouldnt make a habbit of leaving my Jeep running for 3 hours under any circumstance unless im driving it.

Hey got a 5.2 and it was running like a beast for the year I’ve had it rebuilt tranny 30,000 miles again and engine rebuilt 100000 miles ago and it still runs great but now when the engine warms up and I slam on the gas to test if it revs correctly if I do it to quickly the engine will like choke and sputter sometimes it’ll save it self from Turning off but most of the time it stalls out I’ve changed the cables ,distributor, plugs alternator tps iac I don’t think it’s the map sensor but I guess that’s my next step any ideas???

[@garionporter5961]

maybe the MAP - did you change that? any luck? also I hear the intake temp sensor (located usually in the kegger) can be problematic during high heat/engine...also look up blown plenum gasket - common problem for these 5.2/5.9
