Look behind the drivers side rear tire, attached to the frame!

Will a bad TPS cause my jeep not to start? It doesn't happen all the time maybe twice a week and sometimes i can smell gas when does and it will eventually start but it takes a long time

Assuming you're driving a 97 (I think) or older. I think 98-01 they put the filter as part of the fuel pump assembly located in the tank.

OP drives a '95. I believe its in front of the rear driverside tire, attached to the frame.

EXACTLY! ..i literally leave a copied key in the console. The start button is pretty well camouflaged in the dash. I just NEED to remember to tell the valet at the House of Blues what to do next time.. I come back a while later, and it's only moved about 30 feet.. they had to push it! Whoops!!

Lol this is the reason I hate Valets touching my jeep. One time durin the winter I had to valet. I know I have issues with my NSS but I just toggle the gears and it'll start. The valet goes to get my car and five minutes comes running back to me and says, there's something wrong with your car it's not starting. I tried to warn him and said I'd get it myself in the first place. Owe well, it's part of driving a jeep

Yeah, oh well. My problem is that I very rarely fix things the *proper* way. It's much easier to just run some extra wires & cut the broke stuff out! haha.

Has anyone ever done the vacuum disconnect mod? I was wanting to know what all was involved, my vacuum lines just ripped off the steel lines, not the actuator itself, this weekend and have no clue which lines go where. I dont have $$$ to swap to newer axle right now, So if someone could help me fix this then explain how to do the mod so i don run into this again that would be ALOT of help. THX!!
