THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AND YOUR HONESTY ABOUT THE CHEAP SENSOR 👍

[@roccom5988]

Great video my friend.

[@iangouldenbrady4125]

Great video really helper me

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

Just checked the TPS sensor you linked to Amazon. It's still a cheap sensor. $31? How cheap was the bad one?😂. Mopar is $210.

[@johnrushenberg100]

Thanks for the great videos! Your 97 XJ is interesting, 135,000 miles, looks to be in great condition, except has a lot of issues. Great opportunity to make videos and help your audience. I need to do this on a 99 XJ.

[@stevec5657]

Yep, my '98 XJ was very particular about what brand of replacement sensors I used. I learned my lesson after a few failed (cheap) ones and started investing more in high quality. Hopefully you two can get everything sorted out before winter sets in.

[@JeepSolid]

Yes sir! Can’t go cheap on some of these

[@sergiogonzalezvirgen2580]

Hola saludos una pregunta a ver si me pueden ayudar cuándo aparece el fallo de la luz check del código 24 del tps se tiene que apagar la luz check engine después de que se corrige el fallo.. o ya después de varios ciclos de calentamiento se apaga sola

[@nathanmccumber8965]

​@@JeepSolidis Duralast cheap ?

[@TheOmegaman69]

Good video. If you have/had a Multimeter that has the Max/Min function on it, you could turn that on and get a better idea of the voltage swing. If it doesn't display both at the same time (most Digital Multi-meters don't), then use Max for a few minutes and write down the value and then Min for a few minutes and write down the value. This way you could get a better idea of the voltage swing (difference between the two). Of course, a Scope is the best way to look at it, but they are more expensive. Thanks for the video. Omegaman

[@litz13]

If you have a ODB box that can read data stream data, you can watch the TPS data in realtime. Since the throttle is cable driven, it should be dead-steady at idle. Your bad one would jump all over the place.

[@JeepSolid]

Yep. Looks like that’s what happened to mine

[@Nigriff]

​@@JeepSoliddid you reset ECU after installing the first TPS?

[@georgetheocharous1109]

That fan though Dale lol

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! 1 thing at a time

[@dkhill27]

I almost bought a cheap sensor. It was 14 dollars. But i thought cheap means problems. Went to the auto parts store and got a 50 dollars one and works great so far

[@calebshull3902]

what one did you buy?

[@dkhill27]

@calebshull3902 If I remember, it was a Delphi brand. I would have to look at the receipt and see for sure.

[@lsp4050]

I did the same thing on my 06 jeep Rubicon unlimited. it doesn’t idle too low about 500 maybe 600 RPMs but what it does is it races up to 1800 maybe 2000 RPMs and if I come to a dead stop and slam on the brakes, then it’ll idle down after about a second or two

[@mohammedmujalled1554]

Remember to buy Mopar sensors for the throttle body and the crank position sensor as they will last longer and provide the factory performance

[@caseynewell4922]

Looks like Mine had a new one on it when I bought the Jeep still had a rough idol. I replaced the map. Sensir still was having the issue so I went andvolved a new throttle position sensor. And still doing the same thing

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

If the sensor's were after market, this will happen. I read that jeeps are very sensitive and need Mopar sensors. I having this problem too and getting mine replaced on Monday with a Mopar TPS. Im keeping my fingers crossed, but I'm also thinking it could be the after market fuel injectors I just put in a month ago for $60. New Mopar injectors are $215 each + labor.

[@Nigriff]

When using aftermarket TPS, make sure to reset ECU. Maybe that's why your first sensor didn't work

[@rogerh9773]

My jeep zj was doing the same thing a good replacement should come with a rubber seal on it, the seal stops it from vacuuming air between tps and throttle body most of the aftermarket tps dont come with rubber seal.

[@mac2k2020]

a generous dab of vaseline will help

[@lancey1053]

I did the same thing brought a cheap one, then i brought a Mopar one. The early OEM sensors were okay made by Standard, Delco etc, now they are all made in China.

[@kings5223]

My YJ does that when very cold outside

[@JeepSolid]

Humm. Maybe put a volt meter on yours?

[@kings5223]

@@JeepSolid I'll have to try that one of these years haha

[@bobbyblanco2238]

I back probed mine with the key on engine off and found that as I opened the throttle there was a dead spot that showed no voltage then would get voltage again.

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

Is that calibrated?

[@mac2k2020]

you're missing one symptom erratic shifting .. fortunately it's a cheap fix also just for everyone to know i doubled the life of my TPS by simply spraying wd40 on it i suspect moisture is one of the main issues of the tps failing and sometimes it's just wet inside and it affects the reading

[@Nigriff]

Careful spraying too much WD40 on plastic.

[@jordanboykin9218]

a symptom that can happen is p0700 from the transmission too

[@nopoohfan7112]

I suggest leaving the text up longer. Hard to read that fast while at Starbucks and drinking coffee. Ha Ha. The text that says about the TPS symptoms

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

That's what the pause button is for. 👍

[@nopoohfan7112]

@@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285 hard to do when driving. At Starbucks I agree with you

There's this thing caused "pause". Try it.
