I think I got my idle issues solved. At least I hope.
I have been experiencing a high idle that started about 3-4 months ago. I initially suspected the IAC so I removed the throttle body and gave everything a good cleaning.
I typically clean my throttle body during every oil change but I had never once cleaned the IAC valve.
It was obviously pretty dirty and after cleaning it up good I put everything back together. The idle was perfect!
Unfortunately the high idle would randomly return. I then started to think the IAC valve itself was bad so I was saving money to purchase the genuine Mopar version.
Today I grabbed a bottle of throttle body cleaner and thought I’d try cleaning it one last time. In the process of removing the air intake tube from the throttle body I accidentally bumped the throttle position sensor. The Jeep suddenly started idling high.
I then noticed that the throttle position sensor wasn’t screwed tight to the throttle body. I tightened both bolts up and now my Jeep is idling like it should.
Fingers crossed that I’ve solved the issue because those Mopar sensors are pretty expensive.
