89 renix, all the vaccum lines are new, new tps and iac. I still have the jeep idle around 1100rpm cold and 1500 rpm warmed up. Any ideas guys? cruiser?

Did you adjust the TPS? If not go to Cruisers renix tips, follow the guide good stuff.
Also check the bolts at the back of the intake, they have a habit of working loose and will also cause high idle problems.

Did this just start happening?

Has anyone ever messed with the butterfly stop screw on the throttle body?

Of my tips, which ones have you done?

Have you checked your intake manifold bolts for tightness? A vacuum leak at the intake will cause high idle.

Ive never messed with the butterfly screw because I know that's not used to adjust anything, and I cleaned the IAC and put in a new TPS. Although one torx bolt from where the intake hose goes to the throttle body is off and wont screw back in, could that be a cause? Ive also got that heat soak problem when my jeep is warm and I restart it and it misfires until I rev it up

Intake manifold leaks
IAC
Vacuum leaks
You've got a lot of checking up on stuff to do

Intake boot bolt is not the issue here.

Did you adjust the new TPS?
