So my TJ has an hesitation issue on a cold start where it has no throttle response above 2k rpms. I'm throwing no codes but my TJ's history definitely had a sinning past. Really needs a tuneup (High idle sometimes) so I'm going to start there. Being a 98 I know I need a Rotor/Cap/Air Filter/Spark Plug Wires/Spark Plugs for a tuneup. I will probably remove the throttle body to clean it and the IAC as I have never cleaned mine (Owned the TJ for 20k miles, shame on me). Just changed the oil/filter so won't be doing that. Spark plugs will be XP985 & Napa brand wires/rotor/cap/gold air filter. Any recommendations on anything else I should do for the tuneup to get her happy again?
(Recently got a new battery/alternator so electrical is going strong, for now. Replaced my radiator & hoses last year, although that will need to be attended to in the future.)
Edit: Although I am under the impression I should clean the throttle body removed off the TJ, but would it be better to clean it on the TJ while its running (Like indicated by Stu Olsen on his website)?
Edit #2: I recently changed my Power Steering fluid, brake fluid, both differentials have new fluid, and the TCase has new fluid. I will be adding Redline MT90 onto the list above for AX15 fluid change.
