I just replaced the TPS on my 99 XJ and now it seems to idle at 1200 rpm. It runs a heck of a lot better but didn't do this before. Does it need some sort of calibration? Also the new one doesn't want to let the plug click into place. Here's the part # if it helps: EC3167 by BWD
Thanks in advance for your help!

Vehicle Shop Lift

Drive shaft slipped out off road!
So I took my XJ off-road in the snow with a lifted Land Cruiser leading the way. I have a stock '90 XJ 4.0L with all-seasons. Things were going great - it kept up well. Until....
All of a sudden, deep in hard-packed snow, I felt and heard a loud snap. I lost power. I shifted from 4-h to 2-h, and it just spinned. Underneath the car, the drive shaft between the t-case and the rear diff was dangling. The bearings at the u-joint on the rear diff side side just blew off! I was able to pull the shaft out of the slip-yolk on the t-case side. My XJ sits silently 13 miles from pavement, out in the woods. My hope is to grab parts, go out there, fix, drive out.
So, dear experts:
1) Is it cheaper to just buy a new shaft (what is the name of that specific shaft anyway)? If so, where does one buy this stuff? The major online retailers don't seem to have it. The alternative would be to get new bearings and take the whole thing to a shop to press them on.
2) There was some (like a quarter cup) red lubricant coming out of the t-case. My understanding is that the t-case oil is compartmentalized. I'm worried that the seal is broken and I'll cook the transfer case driving out of the woods. What is this stuff?
Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks!
