Re: ECU for Jeep Cherokee
I need the ECU eventually because of a persistent TPS error. My mechanic
troubleshooted it and thinks its probably the ECU. But he thinks there has
to be some reprogramming to be done, because I tried one from the junk yard
before he looked into it and nothing changed (same TPS error, same mileage).
It's a 97 inline 6 Cherokee. It works, but it doesn't start at first try and
it is not very smooth if you want to accelerate from 65 to 75 without a
kickdown.

Re: ECU for Jeep Cherokee
The TJ's ECU is known to be extremely reliable and just about
trouble-free. Have you already replaced the TPS and cleaned/reseated
the electrical connection that connects the ECU to the TPS? Bad TPSs
are easily replaced and far cheaper than replacing the ECU.
