GET A CAN OF SPRAY THROTTLEBODY CLEANER . REMOVE THE AIR HOSE. INSIDE THE THROTTLEBODY BORE OR OPENING YOU WILL SEE A SLOT. THIS IS THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. START JEEP HOLD ON HIGH IDLE, USING THE SMALL STRAW THAT ON CAN, USING SHORT BURST'S SPRAY INTO SLOT. CLEAN IT GOOD, ALSO CLEAN AROUND THE THROTTLE BORE YOU CAN'T OVER CLEAN IT. DO NOT SPRAY ANY OF THE SENSORS OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING OF SENSORS. HOPE THIS HELPS DALE
