Fun fact about post '97 XJs: You can check the codes without a reader. Hold down the trip reset button while turning the ignition to 'on' until the odometer starts cycling through numbers. Then release the button. The odometer will then display the code.

[@baltod4978]

Funny. I used to watch you and your little buddy when I first got my miata- and now I've just recently bought an XJ.

[@JamesDonald-bl3zp]

I dont see how you do any of that with gloves on, i cannot do that with hard to get to places, hardly anything working on a motor,,,, but more power to you man

[@nj1639]

I had pulled and cleaned the IAC on my '01 XJ due to low idle and stalling at stops. The low idle and stall disappeared but was replaced by a hanging idle when the accelerator was pressed. Finding your video was a godsend, especially when you read the installation instructions that came with your IAC replacement referencing that the engine will hang high idle until driven 5 miles at 45mph to reset the "brain". Thank You!!! We're good to go......

[@racerboi77j]

I just recently changed the idle air controller on my 2003 Ford Expedition with the 4.6L V8. I tried to clean the valve and didn't get any change, so I replaced it. The 4.6 repair of the IAC was made as easy as can be because the IAC actually sits on the idle air circuit, rather than bolted to the side of the idle air circuit. Disadvantage is that OEM price for the part is around $90.

@ around 17 mins, "hopefully that way will be easier, uh, not being easier" , that's the club we all are in lol great work guy, lots of thinking happening there

[@KenLee-sv4uo]

Missed Clock Springs issues (older mileage vehicles). Front Audio Speakers, Door Lock and Window Wires between door and body. Leaking oil filter adapter. Broken front seat console (made of plastic and if you lean on it the support will break and most Jeep XJ are broken in 97 and up) . This guy is only getting started. Should of made a list before he even got started making the video. Don't get me wrong, he came up with some great issues. I loved my Jeep XJ that I have owned (1995, 1997, 1998, 2 x 2000), but I love my Forest Green 2001 the best. Changed the interior from tan to black (sweet). Never took any oy my jeep to a mechanic. I have done all my own work. The biggest issue with my Jeep has been other driver not able to see them and hit me. Insurance companies are quick to total out.

My 4.0 has a problem not wanting to run right in cold temps before it warms up to normal , it spits and spudders with no power, but after it warms up real good iruns just fine with good power, it wasn t doing this last winter, what would you say is causing this ?

My cherokee is all a sudden not liking winter cold starting, it stats and idles fine for 15 mints or so but then it starts acting up andoest want to run about when its startin to warm up on the gauge, it zpits and spuders and dies,,,, last winter it never did this, but now its everytime i start it up,,, got no. Power past idle, it just spuders til quits ,,,,30 mins later i try it agin and it does the same thing again, ,,, would this have anything to do with the throttle body connections you think ? Its the first winter that its did this, and it runs perfect whenever this crap doent happen in the mornings when its cold as hell !

[@freebuilder007]

Thanks for the well thought through and presented video. You've delivered the best information on the subject I have found. I'm Working with. a '96 XJ (2.5 four banger) that Ive had for over 15 years, and just failed smog.. (California.....Love it or hate it, or wish you were somehow smog exempt...) I Got a code for O2 sensors and idle control. Replaced O2 Sensors, and Idle control and threw a tune up at it. (Quality cap, rotor, plugs, and wires which is something I consider annual maintenance.) Also decided to throw a new blue streak coil at it as I could not name the year I did that last. Surprise! Old coil was cracked straight through, It's a wonder it ran. Runs better, it runs smooth, But Stil... I'm Getting a check engine light and code for idle control? I bought the Standard brand metal Idle control, wishing to spend a few bucks more and not have to re-consider new part function after installation and subsequent possible failure. Idle at start up is about 1200, and very slowly settles down to maybe 900-1000. I'm a fan of slow idle, would love to get it down to 600-700, and thinking that may be the level that enables the check engine light to go out and Pass Smog. (Insert celebratory fireworks here). I did see another youtube that instructed adjusting the length or the idle control valve plunger prior to install. ( and there was much criticism of that in the comments) That is a straight forward process, the plunger does screw in or out for adjustment, and the other video suggested Matching the adjusted length to that of the old valve plunger, thereby arriving at the correct length adjustment. Your new Idle control valve self adjusting after a few miles of driving was news to me.... but your Cherokee was 97 or newer and mine is not.... My new valve had no such set of instructions. Any Suggestions? Thanks again.....

[@GearHeadsGarageChannel]

Screwing it in or out before putting it in is not going to do anything, it needs to self learn. If you still have a high idle I suspect you have a vacuum leak somewhere or something else is afoot. Standard Motor Products is one of the few aftermarket companies I use in my shop and feel comfortable recommending. Dont get caught up in the small details. K.I.S.S. "Keep it simple stupid" is an all time truth. If it is idling high its probably getting too much air, and because these systems are speed density vs a MAF they will still run great either way. If you had an intake leak on a maf system it probably would idle like shit and run good under load. Good luck and hope you find your solution, I am in CA too and struggle with that fact always lol

[@Manandmachine772]

Sorry about that, I didn’t get to complete my question. It idles at 3k , cleaned the throttle body and IAC valve and passage way. Reinstalled and Jeep idled down to 1000-1100 rpm. Next am started Jeep idled at 3k again checked codes got the P0505 code so went and bought a new IAC and a map sensor since they are right beside each other. Now idles at 2000 checked for vacuum leaks have not found any as of yet. Have not checked power or resistance will do that next any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@GearHeadsGarageChannel]

Double check that there isnt a relearn procedure for your 2.5 TJ, not sure what they used on yours vs mine but many times they need a relearn.

I just replaced my PCM now with two different Refurbished ones. I had replaced many many parts. Now it has a low idle about 500 RPM almost sounds like it wants to die but doesn’t.. so I purchase all three sensors that will be here 12/3/24 the IAC TPS MAP and I’m going to get a new gasket and take off the throttle body and clean it.. I hope it fixes the low idle. It use to randomly go up high for a few minutes then down to normal.. so I am hoping replacing the sensors will help.. ohh and my pcm was a pain in the ass because it still wanted to die but I am thinking now since all the clips were broken they were not snapped in solid so I got industrial zip ties and zip tied them super tight and it hasn’t had issues yet.. 🤞🏼

Some old jeeps you turn the key to on 3 times and then you can read the codes off the dash then google the codes and it will tell you what the problems with your engine is so when you go to the shop your mechanic can't sick you around✌️

All it does is give you a code, a code is NOT a diagnosis and parts should not be replaced based on codes alone. If you dont trust the mechanic find another one you do trust. If you dont trust anyone then you got bigger problems to handle lol

You can clean the old IAC with spray cleaner then work the pintle back in by holding it in 1 hand & using your thumb to push the pintle back in by rocking it back & forth. If it's stuck you won't be able to do this obviously. Also oil that O-ring before reinstalling new IAC. Could have also been a VAC. LEAK, I've seen that on the 4.0's.

Could my sputter and hesitation occurring in the lower gears (AT), with P0170 code that says lean but runs rich in open loop be the IAC? 2000 XJ 4.0. No vacuum leaks. Fuel pressure feels good. No test on fuel pressure. Will replace filter. Engine only hesitates and bucks upon acceleration. Code is only Pending in closed loop. Last 15 miles gives no CEL. Running better as time goes by, but still getting that initial sputter, intermittently, seconds after accelerating has begun. Great Vids, Keep em coming. Broken thumb has me JeepTubing😁

[@freetob1]

ONE THING that pops up, neutral safety switch. LOL bypass it if your reverse lights dont light up and your car will not start. Its 300 bucks or so to replace. Paper clip works just fine to bypass under the hood. Just be safe because it will start in neutral. I only start mine in park unless working on it anyway.

[@GearHeadsGarageChannel]

I got a replacement on rock auto for like $150-230ish I think. If it is giving you issues for the lights it can start causing other issues as well and as easy as it is to replace I would say just do it. If your car is a beater thats just getting limped along fine but I plan on keeping this one forever, I dont do bandaids.

What is the vacuum lines that run into the brake booster is that part of the brake system that would make my brakes hard to push and harder to stop

Yes the booster is your brake assist, it is powered by engine vacuum. If you disconnect that it will cause you to lose the power brake assist and your brakes will be manual with only the force of your foot to engage.

replaced TPS and AIC valve, cleaned throttle body. 1994 jeep cherokee country running like new again. i 'upgraded' to a more reliable name for both sensors (standard motor products). in the past i usually would go for the cheapest product, but after much neglect i figured she need a little extra TLC. from my experience, the instructions that came with the AIC say you can 'adjust' the head manually before install. it was somewhat vague as to why, but i say absolutely NOT. do not twist clockwise or other. you are only asking for trouble.

Does the fuel pump and idle control senser have same symptoms when going bad

[@GearHeadsGarageChannel]

Not really at all, and the fuel pump is much easier to diagnose. Get a fuel pressure tester and see what it is putting out, best test is tape the gauge to the windshield and see what it puts out while driving under load. Many fuel pumps will give a good number sitting and idling but fall on their face once the engine really has a load on it.

[@GearHeadsGarageChannel]

Your jeep has a RENIX system. See if you can buy a diagnostic tool for it online, it was a unique system that was ahead of its time but also a pain because even though it was fuel injected it was a one off system and no old OBD connectors work to communicate with it, and it also does not have a check engine light so you cant count flashes for codes either. Diagnosing those takes a bit more skill, but if you can find a tool for it it will make your life much easier, otherwise basically going around with an oscilloscope or multimeter and manually backprobing and checking every sensor in order of suspicion is the only way you can do it.
