Auto, I own my own garage. But $100 sounds like way too much.

On the Renix system the TPS for the auto is a manuals TPS with an extra potentiometer added on for the trans that shares the throttle shaft. If you leave the transmission connection unplugged (nowhere to plug it into anyway) it will work just fine.

The TPS for a stick has one potentiometer and one wiring plug. The TPS for an automatic has two potentiometers and two electrical plugs. One plug for the fuel injection and one for the transmission. The one for the fuel injection is identical to the stickshift version.

Yes. We actually have done it for a few customers, one older woman had a renix jeep that needed a TPS, felt bad so I did everything I could to cost her less. This is one of the things I did to save her money, a high school kid I hired for the summer actually told me about it 2 years ago, thought it was BS til I saw him throw it in without any problems on his.

We did all that cap, rotor, wires, plugs, new map sensor, new idle air control valve. It started to do it all the time no matter what gear or how fast i was going, got to the point were sometimes it didnt want to take off. When it first started it, it did it in 4th at about 1300-1500 rpm.
