Hey all, Been a good while since I've been on since my WJ's and couldn't recover my old acct for some reason so starting new. Found myself a 2.5l 5sp 1990 YJ in pretty decent condition a few weeks back. ~84000Km/~52000miles on the dial, brought down from Canada at some point. Pretty stock from...

My xj has been giving me trouble returning to idle after revving up above 1500 rpm. It also cuts out real bad when going 3/4 throttle to WOT, I’ve replaced my map sensor to no avail I’m not wanting to blow another $50 on another unneeded sensor so if anyone has ideas for diag tests I’d...

Hey everyone, been lurking for a while but have to ask for some help because I’ve reached the end of my technical knowledge with this issue. Little background: I'm used to working on toyotas, fords, and subarus but a few months back I got a ‘97 XJ 4L 4wd with only 150k miles to play around with...

Hello! I have an 04 grand cherokee laredo 4.0, the jeep is in drive and at a complete stop, when I turn the wheel to the right the rpms drop and and fluctuate. I've heard it could be the pressure switch but I've searched and cannot find the part or location for my jeep. I've recently had my jeep...

Background: I was driving on a feeder road about 50 mph and a truck clipped me sending me swerving off strait at a curb. Hopped the curb, bent my axle housing and was still able to drive to a shop. Ever since then my jeep has been idling rough (250-500rpm) or dying. It is running very rich and...

I sometimes have low idle and then get a Check Engine light and resulting P1294 Idle Speed Malfunction error code. I clear it and it drives fine. Then, like I mentioned, occasionally it comes back when I have a low idle. Seems random and I don't want to go off chasing this thing and replacing...

I accidentally drained my battery last night by leaving my aftermarket heated seats plugged in the power outlet for a few hours. Needed a AC battery charger to jump it back to life. Now, my idle seems quite weak. As if it is about to stall when at idle. Any ideas why this is happening and...

so my Jeep is a 1995 YJ with the four cylinder and the automatic transmission every once in a while, when i start my jeep it idles rough tries to stall then it goes up to about 2k rpms, once it warms up though it idles fine and it doesn't do it every time i have no idea what it could be...

99 TJ 2.5 L Engine RPMs drop to 200 or stalls at stop This has been a problem for the past month or so... Whenever the jeep is cold and when I come to a complete stop 1 of three things will happen. 1. Good solid idle. 2. Idle drops to 2-3hundred kind of *kicks* then goes back to normal 3. Idle...

So I've been having starting and stalling problems. With the jeep idling way to high as well as rough. Replaced IAC, And my temp guage came to life. Lasted about 3 days, got a new part, still won't work. So I'm wondering if it's the IAC, is bad or of its due to the bad guage. Because I was...

So I've been battling with my starting/stalling problem for months now. The issue is most of the time when I try and start it, I need to push the gas pedal all the way down for a few seconds in order to get her to start. Then shifting from park to reverse the idle becomes rough dropping to 200...

Hi guys, I have a 90 jeep yj with the 4.2 engine. I just got my head back from a machine shop and back on the jeep. However, now I can't get it to idle. It will start and runs when I keep giving it gas but as soon as I stop it immediately dies. I believe its a vacuum problem but not sure. My...

Hello, I drive a 1997 XJ Country 4WD, Automatic. So my main issue is when I try to start the car, it turns over but if I don't hold the gas all the way down, the car won't start, push and hold gas, after about 3 seconds the car starts, also the idling is all wrong, once it starts I hit about 3k...

Okay, here is the problem. I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty 3.7 V6 and its idling really rough. I just made a trip back from the smoky mountains in Tennessee. While I was going up a hill near the top, the pressure popped off my cap for water. I thought it blew the head gasket but the engine never...

I am having trouble with my newly acquired 1988 Jeep Cherokee. It runs great while any pressure is applied to the gas pedal and often idles well. On occasion, though, once it resumes idling (while slowing down after a long trip) the engine begins to pulsating pretty heavily. So much so, at...

The other day I was coming back from school in my 2000 Cherokee Sport and lo and behold it starts sputtering on me so I pull off to the side of the road, shortly after it dies on me. After calling my friend for a jump and driving about 50 more feet it does so again, and so I had to tow it...

So, on with the idle drama... I'm thinking now that it's the brake booster (coming to stop, idle drops to stall) have done the carb/venturi thing, seemed to work great with the varying idle, but the stop/dying thing continued. So brake boosters...I know the test is to take the vacuum line off...

First post. Learned from Jeep Hammer, John Strenk, Mike Romain and many more. 83 CJ-5, 258 w/Carter BBD. No idle - so replaced carb with professionally remaned non-stepper BBD, also replaced coil, ICM, and completed team rush ignition upgrade. Choke works fine. Idle tubes clear. Canister...

Bought her in 1994, used to think I knew what I was doing as a kid, didn't we all; gave it to my brother in law because he asked for it and I was always working 80 hours a week. (Is that a run on sentence?) Now I have her back and know I don’t know anything. Just got her back, she has been...
