00 cherokee sport IL6 high idle issue
Hi
I can't find this problem in a thread search, so don't bite my head off for asking a question
My 00 XJ with an IL6 4.0 was running really rough, died when idling, shifting hard. I replace the TPS, IAC and fully cleaned the throttle body she shines.
I let the brain reset, left everything un-hooked for an hour befor reconnecting.
Befor it started this issue, it was idling at 700 / 800 when in park or at a traffic light.
Now it is idling at 2200 at first crank and calms down to about 1900 / 2000 after a minute or so and continually idles at that rate while sitting at a stop light or motoring.
This is now the second time I've driven it since I did the work, is it going to calm down by itself or am I gonna have to replace another part?
