1993 Jeep Cherokee Restoration

So i frankensteined the New fuel pump with my old sending unit since my old one worked and then it started its sputtering on me. I know it wasnt the fuel pump because it was brand spanking new so i did what i do best. Snoop around and be nosey. Ive come to the conclusion that in my rush of cleaning the throttle body of carbon, and subsequently installing it back. I never tightened my MAP sensor. That would be cause 1. Cause 2 is one of my rubber elbows for my pc valve hose is shot so i am losing vacuum.
Once again the rain is stopping me from fixing it.(just started raining as of writing this FML). So I am pretty sure these are the cause.

Depending on which one sometimes you can replace the elbow with a piece of hose.
On my '00 I have 3 on the side, not the top like yours, and was able to replace one of the elbows with hose.
It depends on the size of the plastic line and the size of the nipple on the intake.
One was the same diameter on both the plastic line and the nipple on the intake so no problem. One the plastic line diameter was smaller then the nipple on the intake.
So I could not use a hose there.
But I was able to find one for a Ford that fit nice.
The third one I have not had to mess with so don't know how that would play out.

Video of my problem
This is how my car acts. It sputters when I give it gas and then surges. Put it in reverse it does it again. Then stalls. Also failed to mention that it is getting 20 PSI at the rail. Codes are 12 17 62 24 55. Now only seems to sputter around 2nd or 3rd gear.

Ordered a TPS sensor and a haynes repair manual. After hours and hours of reading the forums, I've come to the conclusion that it is that sensor that has gone out. The haynes manual will help me better understand the ins and outs of the car.

Go here and download a Factory Service Manual for your Jeep.
Otherwise referred to as an FSM.

Injectors
Bought some fuel injector cleaner and the engine seems to run better and a little more quiet. Or that is just me.

You are making great process with the truck. It is nice to see them kept relatively stock.
Unless I am mistaken, 20 psi at the rail is a bit low. I would double check that.
