Either way, this is becoming an interesting thread. The more people post, the more info you get to base your decisions off of.





Good Luck. God Bless.

Today it got a little worse at idle and it did the quickest die and recover. First one was at idle at a stop light. A very quick pop stutter and instant recovery. Next on a right hand turn it skipped a beat. Then when home at idle it did the same thing. Quick pop almost die and then instant recovery. Hmmmm

Whoops, I was focusing on the original post - & even when I went back to check my memory wasn't failing me, I skipped everything inbetween.

Re smokes the jeep from the break booster and found my oil cap and throttle body leaking smoke. Throttle body was leaking at the end by the spring. I did the rusty411 throttle body axel rebuild for 2 dollars. Sweet. But now my accelerator cable won't spring my butterfly shut. It like the cable is totally loose with slack. Strange because I didn't mess with that at all. Just removed the cable to take off throttle body. Any help?

I have the suspicion that the leak in manifold is part of the idle problem. I have put all these new parts on while reseting the pcm and relearning. The manifold was installed right when I was doing all the sensors. So I feel the computer has been learning with the cracked manifold and it's messing things up
