Idle Problems? |

Does your Jeep
get stuck on high idle? Idle too low? Stall at the worst possible moment?
When was the last time you cleaned that nasty throttle body? The damn idle problems finally got on my nerves. I assumed it was some sensor going bad, but after talking to a few friends with jeeps, I found out that dirty throttle body's are the most common problem. I didn't feel like pulling the throttle body off and cleaning it right, so I just went at with some carb cleaner and some rags. I even carefully used some steel wool on some stubborn spots, but don't tell anyone. You'll also want to remove and clean the idle control solenoid. I cleaned mine about a month before and I didn't take a picture of how nasty it was. It was quite nasty. Make sure you clean inside the hole too. Leave the throttle position sensor alone. If you remove it, you will need to recalibrate it. I recommend removing the TB to clean it. Your engine wouldn't appreciate you dropping something down the intake, and you'll do a much better job. Hope it works out, Good Luck! |
