probably not on here but its very easy. unhook the wiring harness and undo the little bolts holding the iac in. pull it out slowly. spray the crap out of it with carb cleaner and spray the port where it mounts out also. put it back together and start it up.

there is a write up on jeepforums or one of the all encompassing jeep forums, i can't remember which one because i read about it when my grand was messing up
