no, no, and no, I dont get it ???? it was fine just cleaned it....

 

How many times have you started it since the cleaning?

 

Should I have disconnected the battery ???

 

No. It's just that if you did, sometimes they won't idle well afterward and require a few starts to re-learn their settings.

 

It's OK to be a newbie. Let's address one Jeep at a time though. I'm old and easily confused.

 

Maybe 10 now, I thought that too, maybe it sticky ir somtin, they that touchy ??

 

Lol, I see...

 

Maybe it was on it's way out anyway. Did you check the connection?

 

Connection is good, but it was very dirty , gunky....ya may be right, but if I get a new one and it does the same, ill flip you know what...

 

Visually inspect the integrity of the terminals inside the connecors. Retracted, bent or otherwise messed up?

 

They seem ok, I dont know, I should have just left well enough alone, it ran perfect!

 

Who knows? Anything else in the area that coulda gotten bumped? Maybe remove the IAC again and inspect for a broken o-ring?

 

Ahh haa, the o ring was damaged, so u kept it on there and put a beed of gasket sealer also, I had a small tube of it...i did disconnect the other doo hicky next to it too, ecm maybe? For a bit more room....

 

Man, I wish I could find a 2.5 diesel in decent shape...

 

Get a new o-ring and check the plug on your TPS, the doohingy. It's easier to clean the later model throttle bodies such as yours by removing them first, and reinstalling with a new gasket. Gives you a chance to really clean the throttle body thoroughly also.
