Topic: Idle issues

[bammerman]

Hey Sharp, I never drive tested it with it unbolted so I am not sure if it does it while being under a load.  I did play with the throttle lever and it went back down to normal both with it bolted and unbolted, but like I said I never drove around with it unbolted.

I think its the time for you to try and drive it unbolted like what sharp said...
This might help you figure the problem...

TO be honest I didn't know I was to drive around with my electrical unit just flopping around with no mounts.

you can totally uninstall / unplug it so it isn't flapping around. only other thing i can think of is that the computer will use the isa motor to control the motors deceleration when you totally let off the throttle when moving. so maybe a sensor that inputs for that is going bad. tps maybe? although it sounds like its running fin other than the idle issue its easy enough to test though with a multimeter (see pdf)). although a sticky linkage still seems possibly so totaly removing the isa and driving around should be next step.

I remove the ISA and mounted it on the valve cover.  Drove around awhile and low and behold still up in the 1.5k - 2k RPMs.  I check the wire going from the throttle to the inside of the jeep and at least in the engine compartment there isn't a bind by the looks of it, almost straight into the cab.  I could not see it in the cab though.

did u try my suggestions: push the throttle lever back by hand and unhook the cable and see if it still up in the 1500 to 2000)?

Do you mean the spring?

i mean the accelerator cable that goes from the butterfly lever (throttle lever on the throttle body) to your accelerator pedal. Unhook it at the lever and see if that releases the throttle back to idle at low rpm. leave the spring connected

I looked at it, do i just force it off by pushing towards the ISA motor?  I didn't see any clips it looks like it just snaps on.  I don't see any diagrams on that earlier pdf on how to remove.

slide off that clip or snap it off with a flat screwdriver between the end of the cable and  bracket. there is a clip that wraps around the metal part at the end of the cable which you can slide off i think

i use a flat screw driver and pry it away from the tb sound pop right off..

[bammerman]

I will give it a try today.  Now here is another question my jeep doesn't rev high until after I start driving 70% of the time.  I will drive it around the block to get it to do it and then I will pop it off. 








*To any of you who have help me if you computer or website questions send me a PM. I would like to repay your help somehow.

Yeah I think I am an idiot, figured this out while driving.  I put my foot and pull on on pedal and it idles down... it sticks to push back on the pedal but it idles down so motor was fine... did have a vac hose off too.  now just have to figure out why pedal is doing that.  thanks for all ideas

[sharpxmen]

at least you know where the prob is now, glad you found the cause.

Ya the top of my gas pedal is getting hung up on the air box.  I have to bend the pedal since I cannot more the air box any farther.   Bending it shouldn't affect anything right?

depends on which direction you will bend it - might take some of the "travel" away - make sure that once you're done bending you check to see if the throttle is fully open when the pedal is to the floor.

I do think that it could be something else though - did you try losening the mount and see if you can move it so it won't get stuck - that should be better than bending the pedal.
