XJ TPS life span
How long should a TPS last on a '01 XJ? I ask only because I'm going on my
second one in about a year now. Started to shift at odd times and the check engine light came on, so I took it to the dealer. Looked at my mountain of paperwork on the Jeep and found out I had this same sensor replaced a little over a year ago. I know they should last longer then a year, but I just though I'd ask. Any ideas as to what might be killing it? I've gone through a few puddles on road, nothing very deep, but splash up a lot of water. Other then that, I can't think of anything that would be killing this sensor. TIA Hank |

I have a '95 YJ with 60,000 miles and the original TPS. It is not a part
that wears out by any mechanism I know of. Earle "viriiman" <addresschanged@NOSPAM.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:H6SdnYlL1qQcBt-iXTWJhA@comcast.com... > How long should a TPS last on a '01 XJ?

Re: XJ TPS life span
Well these are electrical parts, so exposure to moisture, excessive
vibration, excessive heat, mechanic dropping it on the floor prior to installation, who knows?

Re: XJ TPS life span
Our 88 has almost 300K km on it on the original TPS.
I have had the TPS die twice on me in the last 3 years and yes we do off road it, so it sees muddy water. On recommendations from folks here, I decided to clean it before shelling out money. I started with the easy clean and did the electrical plug with contact cleaner first. That lasted over 2 years until earlier this year when it went 'bad' again on an off road run. I used WD40 on the plug again and away it went. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's viriiman wrote: > > How long should a TPS last on a '01 XJ?

Re: XJ TPS life span
Thanks for the info. Next time I'll just try cleaning it first before I have
them put in a new one. When yours went bad, did just the check engine light come on, or did you start to have problems with the Jeep shifting too?
