irradic throtle position and idling

[tdaaj]

have an 89 trooper, 2.6, 5spd, and am having trouble getting it to idle correctly. any way i can check the throttle positioning sensor? was told it might also be the maf sensor too. is this possible? i'm also running a cone style k&n air filter that is in need of cleaning also. any ideas would be helpful.

also, engine is a 91, i just replaced the head gasket about 250 miles ago. i replaced the egr about 2 years ago and the idling problem was there beforee i did the head gasket.

so nobody knows anything?

ok so can i use the computer from the same year vehicle but automatic trans instead of manual? do they interchange?

for all this interchange and compatability stuff especially with genI models, you'd probably be better off at one or both of these forums where more people do this stuff. a word of advice, though: do a search at those places first for best results

I had an '88 5 years ago that had an idle that was often going up and down. Several mechanics had different opinions... one changed the TPS, and another put in a used throttle and it still happened. Then I took it to a guy who realized the linkage had a problem and he fixed it by bending part of it with pliers and I drove it fine for 3 more years. He said the linkage on both the throttles I had in there were having problems releasing the cable when the gas pedal was released and the computer was misreading this- which resulted in the idle going up and down by itself.
