idle prob
« on: August 05, 2012, 12:19:07 AM »
Hey this is a new jeep to me and runs alright I guess but every once in a while it idles at about 1500 and will not come back down and when it does come down it goes down to about 500 and really quickly to 100 almost stalling and back up to about 1500.... any ideas.... I am thinking maybe fuel filter prob ???

Remove it (two torx bolts, T25 IIRC) and clean it using brake cleaner. Do not twist it or push it in or out as it will damage the spring.

Both the TPS and IAC are on the throttle body.  I find it's easier to take the entire throttle body off then attack the torx screws. Also you can give the t body a good cleaning.
