1997 jeep Cherokee 4.0l 4x4 Jeep idles like it has a hot cam..... Till it warms up thin it idles down till it nearly dies and the idle air valve opens and keeps it from dying completely..... But no engine light or codes and I've replaced every sensor I can think of

Any ideas guys anything at this point would help I'm ready to put a for sale sign on it.

Ever perform a compression test?

Whats the fuel pressure in psi?

Have you checked the resistance of the engine coolant temperature sensor?

Does it blow black smoke out the exhaust?
