Default Some pics and questions:







#1: What is it, what does it control, what is it called..
#2: Same question as #1
#3: Same question as #1 and #2.

And any of the three sensors / w/e they are, adjustable or need to be adjusted.. or maybe some cleaning, how should they be cleaned?

#4: Is this the sensor which gives the signals to the temp guage inside the speedo? Does this sensor have to be specific for the cherokee, or are they kinda universal?

#2 looks like the Idle air control valve. No need to clean it unless its dirty, lol.

#1 - Can't remember off top of my head

#2 - Idle Air Control Valve. Allows airflow to bypass throttle plate and regulates said airflow. Can gum up. Not a bad Idea to clean it if you are experiencing idle problems also clean inside where it attaches to the throttle body.

#3 - Throttle Position Sensor. Should be a way to check it using a multimeter. It tells the computer how much the throttle is open.

#4 - Coolant temp sensor. Not for the guage (that one is on the back driverside of head) but to tell the computer what temp you are running at.

Thanks guys

Okay, now does the TPS needs to be adjusted after it has been re-fit?
I've cleaned the throttle body and put them back and thats it.
