Engine light has been coming on and off so ran the codes at the Jeep dealer and Autozone. Determined that TPS sensor needed replacing. Problem is I can't find one for my 2002 Sport 6 cyl. Anyone have any ideas? Will probably try the Jeep dealer parts dept tomorrow but to install it they wanted $150. Sensor alone should be much cheaper. Any ideas on the cost?
Call your local parts stores for the part number for an 02, 00, 97, and 95 TPS.
I would think the part #'s would be the same in those years and it's easy to swap it yourself. You may also need a T-20 tamper-proof torx bit ($3@ autozone) to remove the sensor. It's a torx bolt with the damned raised center.
As a cautionary note, the bolts that hold the TPS to the throttle body are steel and the throttle body is aluminum. Unless the bolts had a bitumus coating applied to them before they were installed, it is possible for the bolts and throttle body to fuse together. I found this to be the case for me when I needed to replace my TPS. In the end I twisted the heads off the torx bolts to get the TPS off. With firm grip on the shaft (yeah, that's right :rofl: ) with Vice Grips® I managed to remove one but broke the other off flush with the throttle body. I ended up drilling out the broken bolt and putting a helicoil in.
150 HA. it took me like 10 minutes to put mine on. got mine at the local advance auto
