Default 90 XJ cranking issue

I would use a spray contact cleaner on the TPS and CPS connections.
That can do it wonders... Even WD40 will work, but a real contact
cleaner is best.

The CPS is located on the top of the drivers side bell housing and the
plug on mine is just above the manifold where heat affects it.
