No water in intake box (not much splashed under hood either), distributor looks dry. :puzzled: Running in the driveway all seems OK now, but barely made it home, lulz.

TPS or CPS. You should have spares for times like this.

Prolly got the distributor wet. I had a shitty wire set on my '99 and it mis fired on me then died on me in the car wash. I *almost* didn't get it re-started.

I sprayed some wire drying spray chit under the distributor cap, drove last night, everything seems fine. Twice in the past 4 months the CEL came one indicating TPS (lol $26 shipped ebay). I got a new one, will install later today.

CEL was coming on in the XJunk last summer for TPS.... my interwebs reading led me to decide I wanted Mopar rather than some random one I found on fleebay or Autozone.

That is definitely true, I went through a cheap TPS before I bought a mopar one and never had another issue.

Why did you switch out the 242? I don't remember you saying your reason.
