You shouldn't have to change the IAC, just clean it and it's port of carbon so it can move freely. Be very careful of the piston and don't try to move it. It's connected to a stepper motor and quite fragile. You can use throttle body cleaner or brake cleaner and a toothbrush. Brake cleaner isn't very good for the TPS or MAP sensor though. The best thing to do is take the entire throttle body off and remove all 3 sensors, then clean the throat of the body and the IAC. Replace the base gasket when you put it back on. Using that gasket a second time can give you vacuum leaks that you can't find.
In a pinch, you can rub the base gasket with RTV silicone and wipe it off, let it dry, then install it. That's only as a last resort though. I've made waterpump and thermostat gaskets before by rubbing a brown paper grocery bag cutout, wiping it off and letting it dry. |
The throttle body gasket is not a special gasket. It is made of paper. Of course, if you need one they make one. If it is not available, you could make one from smooth compressed cardboard material. Like a new Wix air filter packaging/box would work, or a cereal box. I used the box from a Wix air filter. I did not use any RTV. The original gasket looked like it could probably have been re-used? The homemade Wix packaging throttle body gasket looked better to me though.. Like an upgrade!
Waterpump and thermostat housing gaskets should definitely get RTV. |

Working on that now. Found another part to replace in the process. |
Got everything cleaned and put back together. Just having a challenge getting the metal heat shield and screw for the CPS into the bell housing. Any tips? The sensor is in and plugged into the wiring harness.

I have a 97 Grand Inline 6
I replaced the cps,ECM and thoroughly cleaned the throttle and its running excellent, I decided not to replace the tps at this time. I got a brand new ecm for $188 and it was very easy to switch out. So far so good. |

You do realize your transmission throttle valve cable is disconnected, right? drive like that and burn up your transmission pretty quick. Also it looks a millimetre too tight to my eagle eyes.

Try replacing the oil sensor with a Mopar one. It actually has a printed circuit in it with a crystal chip, not just a diaphragm and resistor.

Thank you dave1123 for all your help and information. It has saved me a lot of time and headaches !!

Jeep is dying again. Looking to replace the coil package.
The following codes. Ignition coil C circuit malfunction. PO353 Ignition coil B circuit malfunction. PO352 Ignition coil A circuit. PO351 Loss of camshaft crank. P1391 Cylinder 6 misfire detected. PO306 |
What are we looking at in the video? So you replaced the crank sensor (by the way its not referred to as the CPS, it is the CKPS, the cps is the cam sensor). but you now have a hard code saying the crank signal is lost. Did you replace it with a MOPAR only? They ONLY like mopar for that. Stronger magnet in the hall effect switch.
