Thank you for showing us exactly where the part that needs to be replaced is under 10 seconds. What's it like being a genius level instructor? Because you sir, are a diamond.

[@brandanbouchez8412]

I love how u explain everything. There is never second guessing on what ur talking about. Great videos!

[@quentinellis2102]

This is a perfect way to describe all of his videos. I have three 5.2L ZJ's and he has helped with with all of them. Thank you Barricade Garage!!

[@TA-nu1vl]

Outstanding video that clearly illustrates the location of the valve, its operation, and how to remove and replace it. Providing the tools required and the Mopar part number very helpful. I was able to clean mine to resolve my poor idle/intermittent stalling. No DTC’s were set during this event. More people need to make clear, concise, and educational videos like this! Great Job Sir!!

[@itslittlematt420]

My guy, my man. You have been the walk through for several of the jeep projects and this isnt the first time youre bringing her back to life. I appreciate you so much

[@drumdude68]

Excellent tutorial. Not one thing missed. Every detail was captured on camera. Thank you!

[@Broseidon77]

These videos are a life saver. My IAC valve was definitely out, but the final problem causing low idle for me was a busted hose that attaches to the front of the throttle body.

[@rabidrabbit6863]

That video of the tachometer helped a lot I’ve been running through forums and videos trying to diagnose mine and you show a video of the exact problem I’m having

[@DoItYourselfDIYAtHome]

Thank you. This is the best explanation and demonstration of changing the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE (IAC).

[@johnscreekmark]

Very good description of a common problem with these 5.2/5.9 engines! 👍

[@duracurvature]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Had a bad IACV. Changed it out and now the truck idles nicely.

[@timhereim5381]

I wish all KZbinrs shared your abilities of camera work and precise verbiage.

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

I couldn't find mine until I saw this video. You pretty much nailed the problem it's been having. I thought it could have had another vacuum leak but I'm gonna try this.

[@brossovitch]

Once again. I need to do this and you upload a video showing it! Jeeze bro, how the hell do you always know?!

[@lori5419]

So helpful for us that don’t know much about cars thank you

[@robertarmstrong6172]

You sir have the best ZJ instructions. I'll check your videos before doing any work on the 97

[@leopoldoitagaray8921]

Thank you from Mexico for your detailed and professional video. Congratulations!

[@zulumagoo1]

I drive a GMC Savana, but i want to watch to support your entire channel. Your humorous skits are what got me. Lol i just busted out laughin with you in response to the other character saying he had watched 'CNN last night." I got the joke the instant he said. "Watched CNN."

Dude....you seriously have the best shots.....again....I am so happy I stubbled on this channel....Love this engine!!! (2000 Dodge Durango 5.9)

[@dvsevin]

Very well done. Great video. the effort put in to making this video shows in the camera work and the clear and correct explination of all steps.

[@ExxonYT]

my jeep is idling low, and stalling, along with misfires. im gonna change the IAC and TPS. your videos are an amazing help for people who aren't familiar with the 5.2L Magnum.

[@barricadegarage5361]

Probably a good idea to replace your spark plugs and pull the entire throttle body so you can clean the plates and any build up as well

[@ExxonYT]

@@barricadegarage5361 its currently snowing in Michigan so if the sensors alone fix it, ill wait for it to get warmer before doing all that. otherwise ill just wait a week or so for the snowy weather to dissipate.

[@Platinumtag]

If the sensor give trouble u can uninstalled it and vehicle should start up just will have a high intake sound at 2000 rpm...u can also remove one of the intake hose on the passenger of the intake and should help to bypass the iac when it's lock. To start the vehicle and should runs find.

[@DOUBLEXXCEL]

Once again brother your vids are fire. Tackled this mini project now my ZJ doesn't threaten to cut off on me. Now... front brakes and rotors are next. Then that MSD ignition coil.

[@brittanyc7392]

Your videos have been so helpful for when I had to work on my Jeep. I was just wondering if you could make a EGR valve replacement video? I noticed there's not a lot of videos for our year make and model.

[@timvest8141]

Excellent video. My '97 just started having erratic idling.

[@michaellaney9056]

Thank you for your expertise! I wish we were neighbors! You communicated with Knowledge and experience! Well done friend.

[@wildwood1963]

Dude yours was the best and easiest video to fallow. Thanks good job.

[@michaelberner6600]

Gonna replace mine tomorrow! Running rich after repairing the plenum plate and installing new injectors hope this fixes it 👍🏻

[@adamgraff2]

Clear, concise, and informative. Thank you this helped.

[@frankj19758]

Great video, & great explanation of how this part works. I replaced it on my 1998 Durango 5.2L. It corrected the the idle problem & stalling out when coming to a stop or at a red light. However, I bought the right angle screwdriver from Harbor Freight for $3.00 & $3.00 for the bit holder to give me more extension. Mine is a Torx 20 by the way for anyone with a 1st generation Dodge Durango.

[@frankj19758]

I forgot to mention my 98 Durango has 151,645 miles currently & still going!

[@wildwood1963]

Great video . Love the way you explained every step. Easy to follow good job. Thanks

[@jamesstark8020]

Your videos are clear and informative you take the time to make sure you are understood thanks.

[@jaybreezy6926]

I have a 95 cherokee limited 5.2 all wheel drive. Yesterday before work, i tried replacing the IAC. For some reason i can see the screws, even after taking pics(couldn't get a good angle). Anyway, the screws started to back out then stopped(i also re-watched this vid just now, realizing i needed a T25 bit and i was using a T20). Lol. Well gonna give it a go again Monday when i dont work. I may have to remove the throttle body so i can work on it in doors(30s and wet/windy), and actually see what im doing. Anyway, thnx again(watched your vid on the transfer fluid change and i believe one for the TPS.

[@brokenaf1476]

I seriously appreciate this video, I have the same exact jeep and its doing the same exact thing now I know what to do 😌

[@restrallete007]

Perfect!! Thanks from Spain!

[@dustydon6419]

Love all your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@danfalley9296]

Thanks man. Gonna clean that tomorrow. Mine dies (97 zj with 5.2l) when you stab at the throttle, it slows too far down and dies everytime.

[@mikeh318]

Great Video. Just did this on my 4.0. Keep up the Videos!

[@typie34]

Thank you very much for this nice video, it perfectly explains everything i needed to know. i have the same problems with my 97 grand cherokee zj, and i ordered a new Idle Air Control Valve and will replace it on Thursday.

[@killervito]

I have a 97 zj as well what part # did you use ? I couldn’t find it

[@bikinijohn]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@bastianeaton6427]

@BarricadeGarage What would cause a 98 Jeep to stall out when the following occurs: Key in ignition. Jeep starts up fine. Put Jeep into drive and remove foot from brake. Jeep stalls out and turns off when foot is removed from brake. I've also had the issue of it stalling right after ignition. What are your thoughts? I've already installed a new fuel pump, spark plugs with wires, ignition starter, top end gaskets, ac evac and recharge, suspension, belt, and power steering pump. All grounds and wires are good to go as well. Compression is also good.

[@brentfrancis9187]

You did a great job on this sir!

[@deathmalice256]

Just cleaned throttle body, and now I have a high idle (1200rpm) in park and neutral, but fine in gear. I have replaced the IAC Already.

[@MichaelKouable]

Exactly same thing with me. Park and neutral sit at 1200rpm. Drive is fine. I'm guessing when I put the throttle body back in it created a vacuum leak under it. Although I did change the gasket too. Did u fix it?

[@ExecuteInStyle]

Thanks man just bought a 5.2 ZJ for my little brother and I think this is why he has low idle and weird shifting

[@medoeloll]

I’m experiencing the same thing, shifting is a little hard and idle is slightly low

[@timmatheis7464]

Well done on the video. thanks for doing this.

[@robservice3322]

Great video. Very informative and well explained. Much appreciated!. Time to do this to my Dakota rt.

[@TheYellowDart2]

Thank you! Just helped diagnose and replace.

[@redneckarcher1143]

ive replaced mine and done that but it still stalls when i first start it then idles fine after holding gas for a few seconds. i have a 2000 dodge durango with the 5.2. Im about ready to burn the damn thing.

[@platoonboss]

Great video. Very helpful and informative. Thanks!

[@sm007jr]

During the 5 sec initialization sequence, do you keep the peddle slightly pushed through out the 5 seconds or just when you start it? Love your videos BTW!

[@barricadegarage5361]

Just when you start it then when the motor catches let off. This is because the pintle was extended which wouldnt allow enough air flow to the engine to start it unless you held the throttle blades slightly open by holding your foot very lightly on the accelerator pedal. The worse that could happen if you dont do this process is the engine may stall right after you start it but the computer catches on quick and will make the proper adjustments to the IAC by the time you start it up again

[@sm007jr]

Cool! Thanks, man, yer Da-Best!!

[@harrycallahan8573]

Very good video. Thanks!

[@wolframebel]

Great videos, the best I have seen.

[@philipvillagran9236]

My 5.9 RPM fluctuates like that while I'm just cruising and when I'm in park it revs up real high and maybe about two grand could it be this

[@Bhoben79]

Great vid man, thanks!

[@NoWr2Run]

Man that looked really CLEAN, were you having idle issues ? I see you put some lube on the screws , I do that too with Super Lube, steel screws in aluminum SUCK TO GET APART MOST OF THE TIME. That whole TB LOOKED REALLY CLEAN.

[@barricadegarage5361]

I cleaned that throttle body 2 years ago and put a cheap $10 aftermarket idle air control valve in. I wasnt having idle issues but I want to make a video on each individual sensor on the throttle body and I got the oem mopar ones for a good price

[@Ninjacarvers]

My 97 jeep grand Cherokee has a starting issue only when it's below zero degrees. Everytime it's below zero my jeep doesn't start when I turn the ignition - no crank or anything. I have to bypass this by either 1. crawling underneath and putting my screw driver across the starter solenoid then it cranks and starts (while key is in on position) or 2. (also while key is in on position) pop the hood and go to the starter relay, we removed the black relay cap and manually squeezing the relay which then cranks and starts the jeep. In above zero degree weather starts normal. Any ideas?

[@oy3540]

Love this thanks

[@rongriggs4430]

I have a 98' Limited with a 5.9 and I had the low idle and stalling issue, so I watched both of the your video's and replaced the TPS and the idle air valve. Now I have a high idle issue. And yes I did disconnect the battery, so any help would be great.

Your Throttle position sensor is installed upside down... Trust me

That iac been giving me trouble for year , finally replace it. Will try get me hands on the Mopar brand.

[@MrIpena]

Hey man, I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 and I have been following your videos and I have solved many of the problems that I have encountered in my project. thanks for sharing ,,, but What are your thoughts on completely removing the throttle body for deep cleaning ??

[@SuncoastCreate]

Same 5 sec initialization sequence when replacing one on the 4.0?

[@barricadegarage5361]

Yes

[@shawns870]

Man, the online vendors that I've checked indicate that that Mopar part number won't fit the 97 GC. Will call dealer in the morning but I hate paying their prices.

Does the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 5.2 have a egr valve?

[@Choynanny]

Nice video pal! A question: is it necessary to calibrate something if i change my iac valve in my zj 95?

[@AriaPosting]

My 01 ram van will start, idle, and drive but when you stop at a stoplight it dies, have to restart. Could this be the issue? Once again it starts and idles but as soon as you touch the gas it just shuts off.

[@jamesark9926]

Why the battery..is disconect the negative terminal all the time...not both terminal...?

[@leakyjeep5.9]

The previous owner must have had something to do with phillips head screws being in there..

[@Mascal991]

hi, my jeep ZJ 5.9 sometimes, when I start the engine, it's got the minimum high, around 1500/2000 rpm, turning off and turning the engine back on, and then the flaw disappears, and then doing it again. what can it be? Thanks

[@tramvo9369]

how did you do it can you share with me , thank you

[@Wide_Carange]

What would cause this not to work

[@bjhvapes2703]

Love your videos man. I have the '98 5.9 zj that does the same thing every once in a while. Would that be the same part number? It's never died but revs on idle (like your clip) every so often.

Yes its the same part number for your 5.9 I ordered mine off Ebay for $68 shipped.. Mopar part #53030657AD www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-CHRYSLER-OEM-00-03-Dakota-Idle-Speed-Control-Motor-53030657AD-/162538849988
