Throttle cable is kick down cable.
Man, those sounds on the videos are hard to distinguish over the noise my laptop makes lol. But the first two sounds more like a rattle. The wp noise I can't hear tbh...

No codes showing. That's what's so weird. There has been a pending Large Evap leak "pending" for a while but it's been that way since I bought it 18 months ago.

My 2000 does exactly what yours is doing. Idle not exactly low, but at a light, it sets up a pretty loud sound coming from the muffler area of the jeep. I've changed IAC, TPS, up and downstream O2 sensors, seafoamed the gas and throttle body, cleaned the throttle body, tried BG44K fuel cleaner, replaced plugs...

Haven't done fuel injectors, coil rail or fuel pump.

I've just learned to live with it at this point haha.

Ah! Knew someone had to have had this problem. How do you think it will affect resale? I'm moving to NYC and won't need the Jeep.

I think it'll be negligible as far as resale. As long as it drives fine. But that's just a guess lol.

I started working on the EVAP leak (0455) using this guy's rig:
to locate any leaks. Does anyone know where I should hook up my smoke hose if I don't use the Schrader valve port?
