TPS Needed

[redwrangler02]

Ha I know this will probably not get any responds, but I need a new throttle positioning sensor for my 2002 wrangler if anyone has access to one that they are not using. Thanks!

[redwrangler02]

Oh, and if it matters, its a standard I6.

Might check the part number and see if you can find it in any other chryslers. Then check Pick-A-Part.

[Bounty__Hunter]

I've got a bunch, $15 shipped. I think I've got a new one I can send.

I accept PayPal at the address in my profile.

While you're at it, I also sell 62mm performance throttle bodies if you're interested. Only $85 plus a refundable core charge.

[redwrangler02]

Ill for sure take a tps if you've got one for an 02 I6 Wrangler! And what would the performance throttle body do for me exactly? I may also be interested if it would do me good to have it.

	Throttle position sensor A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle so that it can directly monitor the position of the butterfly throttle valve. The sensor is usually a potentiometer and therefore provides a variable resistance dependent upon the position of the butterfly valve (and hence throttle position). The sensor signal is used by the Engine Control Unit (ECU) as an input to its control system. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing (and potentially other parameters) are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position. For example, in fuel injected engines, in order to avoid stalling, extra fuel may be injected if the throttle is opened rapidly (mimicking the accelerator pump of carburetor systems).

Your HP and MPG will improve, and throttle response will be a lot quicker as the stock taper below the throttle plate is removed.

Does your stock TPS have any numbers on it? Can you send or post a pic of the connector side so I make sure it's the same as what I send?

I'll definetly want one of these in the future. Though, it maybe another two years since I'm gone all summer and I'm deploying next year. My Jeep will be non-op'd for the whole time. Do you have a store?

Hey man! I think I got the right number off my current tps, I believe this is the tps anyway... 2041-1 Bourns. That was the only number I could see without taking the thing off, which Ill do if that isnt right. Ill upload a pic or two with the thing on, but Ill need till tomorrow to take it off and gets some pictures of it if you need me too.

Actuall, is that the tps? I only thought I knew what it looked like cause I read about it in haynes...now that i look at the one in the pictures of tps where everyone types the word in a comment, it looks nothing like that. Let me know if im right, and if not where i can find it, cause my car feels like its about to die everytime i drive it now!! AHH!!

How do I send you money? HA Ive got a paypal account but Ive only ever bought stuff on ebay and it pretty much does everything for you! Let me know so i can get you your $$ and I can get my much needed tps!

That's the TPS, and to the right of it is the MAP sensor.

I need you to disconnect the TPS and take a picture of the inside of the plug, so I make sure to send you the right part. Let's make sure I have one with the right plug setup before you send me money.

To send money, copy my email bountyhunter AT sija.org and go the Paypal.com website. Login, click on 'send money', and put in my email address. Pretty easy from there.

Once you post up a pic of the plug, I'll send it out asap.

Hey! Here are the pictures of the tps you need i think. I didnt know if the part you needed was the black part or the ugly yellowish part so i took pics of both. Let me know if youve got one or whatever! Im ready to send you money if ya do!

Hey also, if you know, what is this round cylinder? I accidentally broke the plastic line going to it while trying to unscrew the tps...the thing was super brittle.

Hey Bounty Hunter! Just let me know if you've got the part or not! I'm all ready to buy it from you!

[Bounty__Hunter]

I've got 6 TPS's sitting in front of me, and not one has a connector pin setup that matches yours. Sorry. I've got two different types here, pins and flat blades, yours looks like a different type of pin setup.

As for the other thing, that's emissions stuff. It should be a vacuum line and you can fix it by connecting the broken pieces with a section of windshield washer or vacuum hose.

Oh dang Well thanks for checking for me anyway! I guess Ill just have to bite the bullet and but a not cheap one lol.

[Bounty__Hunter]

I tried, but I would hate to send you something unless I was confident it would fit. Let us know how it goes.

[Keelentime]

They sell them at any jeep dealer.... around $40.
