whowey Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Finally, the TPS in my MJ found its way to the top of the project list. (It wanted to idle at 3250 rpm the other day) Well, I called around and the only one available in my area was at O'Reilly's. Which was fine, I have been using them almost exclusively since they opened here. I had it held, and ran to get it. It was $105.99 :eek: :cry: :mad: But noone else could get it for a week. and ended up being almost the same price. So if you have a Renix 4.0 with a 5-speed, get ready to be butt hurt... But I think I'm officially on my regular O'Reilly counter jock's Christmas Card list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 yeah, I've been putting mine off. Autozone has it for 98 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'll gladly pay $105 for a Borg-Warner sensor rather than $98 for a POS Wells sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 that or a lazy IAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Sounds like the IAC motor to me. Thats the piece that the linkage for the throttle rest on. Mine went bad and locked up so now when i release the gas it drops so fast it almost stalls....Time to hit up the JY. :brows: Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 My TPS problem started as a higher than normal(about 2k or so). But it would last for a few minutes and go away. Slowly it got worse. It had finally degraded to where it either idled completely normally or at about 3250 RPM. Never good on the motor, and it made driving a manual really exiciting. It is TONS better now. I need to remove the IAC valve and clean the throttle body really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
