Cherokee transmission problem
Okay so the other day my 1999 Cherokee 2WD Automatic misfired. I now have a check engine light, but I don't know the code. I am taking it to a shop soon. My jeep starts fine now and everything seems okay when its idling, but when driving on the road it doesn't want to shift and runs at high rpms. Any clue what my problem is? Maybe transmission problem or what? Also this happened after I washed the engine bay with a water hose, but it wasn't right away it was later that night that I started having issues.

TPS absolutely hates water and is essential to your transmission computer's shifting decisions. Classic description of a TPS failure.
Before doing anything, get the code read! If it ends up being a TPS code, NAPA Echlin brand or Mopar is recommended. If you get an AutoZone or similar you will make very frequent use of that lifetime warranty...
