Nice!

Yes, that's all it does. There's a sensor connected to the throttle shaft (TPS) to tell how far you've opened it, and an air pressure sensor in the manifold (MAP) that approximates the amount of air flowing into the engine.

This is commonly caused by either a stuck Idle Air Controller (IAC) or bad TPS.

When the throttle plate is shut, a small plunger to the right (closer to the engine) is actuated to allow enough air into the engine to idle. This plunger is exposed to oil vapours from the CCV system and can get gunked up, and not move properly. First step to solving this is to take apart your throttle body and clean things. You can find writeups on here of how that works.

Of course the PCM will only open the IAC if it thinks you aren't on the throttle - so if the TPS is inaccurate (it works like a volume **** - I'm sure you've heard one that has a spot that's all staticy) the PCM won't open the IAC. You can also find writeups here on how to test the TPS with a multimeter.

Your oil pressure is supposed to move, oil thins out as it gets hotter. However 3/4 of the gauge is quite high - consider taking a look at the pressure sending unit and its wiring for corrosion and leaking oil. Damage in this area is pretty common and will cause a false reading. It's located right between the distributor and oil filter so it gets hit pretty easily.

 

the fuel pump doesn't cycle.

 

Jentlemen,

I have a 1988 Jeep Cherokee, and the stock antenna needs replacement. Could someone give me the directions to do that?

 

Unscrew it and screw in a replacement

 

Please wear safety glasses.

 

Try not to cross the threads as it well impose alternating frequencies through your radio

 

Damn American cars, I can't receive any metric stations!

 

Lmao!

 

Could somebody share the gear ratio reference table that i see floating around, I'm gonna save it to my phone this time i promise! Lol

 

 

Ya can thank me later lol

 

Can someone tell me how to get my steering wheel off. I took off the nut and it won't budge. I don't have a puller like your supposed to use. Does anyone know how to get it off

 

I'll thank you right now. Thanks man! Lol

 

Get a puller like you're supposed to use.

I recommend buying one because a decent one runs $30 on Amazon. The one I rented at Advance Auto snapped off in my column, and I had to buy a set of extractors.

 

Come on man, even i have a steering wheel puller! Hahaha
