Hey guys,
I've got a 2000 Sahara with about 160k miles on it. Recently started having issues relating to idle. It started by idling rough or not idling on and off on mostly hot starts, being fixed most of the time just by restarting. More recently, it changed into it starting up fine cold, but after restarting a few times over (like 5 or so) it would either not hold idle or be really rough and low, and the engine didn't have to be hot either.
I cleaned the throttle body thoroughly and it started to run smoother almost immediately after. It's now a month or so after doing that and I can't get the car to idle unless it's warm. Replaced the IAC valve about a week ago. First startup it ran beautifully, smooth idle going between a couple different spots, from 1000 rpm to 1500. I followed the instructions on the box to "calibrate" it with the ecm, going above 40mph for at least 5 minutes, and now it won't idle unless its warm. It usually sits around 5-600 and rough. Any help is appreciated.
