Jeep Cherokee Idle Air Control Valve (97-01)(XJ Stalling & Rough Idle)

- This is a tutorial on how to replace or clean your Idle Air Control Valve on a 97-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ. My Jeep Cherokee was idling rough like it was choking when I started it and then it would stall. My idle needle was also going up and down sporadically. I turned the key but didn’t start it to make sure the fuel pump was working and then checked the fuel rail to make sure there was pressure. After checking those components I moved on to the idle air control valve. The idle air control valve electrically regulates airflow to the engine to ensure smooth idling. So far this has solved my issue.

@@kenlackey4696 hey thanks for watching, happy to hear my video helped you out. Hope you’ll consider subbing to the channel.
My 98 Cherokee XJ is sometimes revving up and down in park . I cleaned the throttle body a couple years back but did not know about this idle air control valve until your video. I will try it today if the weather warms a little more. Thank you, if it works I will comment again, if not well I will have to think of perhaps replacing that little unit.
Nice video - thanks (:
Hey thanks for watching. If that doesn’t work I’d replace the throttle position sensor (TPS) before replacing throttle body, it’s cheaper and more likely the culprit. I actually cleaned my IAC valve and it worked for a while then came back and then I replaced the TPS and it went away. Hope this helps and hope you sub.
Perfect video for my Jeep, thank you
Hey thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate your support! Happy to hear my video helped.
@@ucanfixit1 it did help! Positive results. And thank you again for the motivation.
Great job explaining it.
Hopefully this fixes the issue I'm having with my '97
Hey thanks for watching. Happy to hear you enjoyed my video. If this doesn’t fix your issue it could be the TPS sensor. How this helps and hope you subscribe!
Did it fix
@@jordanperez9038 it did fix it. I never would've thought of that. Thanks so much for the help!!!
I don't think I have subscribes yet, but I definitely plan on doing it after this help... Solid!!!
@@alejandroquevedo-andretti2025 Happy to hear that and thank you for subbing to the channel!
@@alejandroquevedo-andretti2025hey quick question, i also have a 97xj 2door model, 5 speed manual transmission.... is your fuel filter external? Or in the fuel pump?
Cool video, pretty funny 😅.
@@k5hoss hey thanks for watching. I really appreciate the feedback. Hope you’ll consider subbing to the channel.
Nice video but you had a nice big bottle of alcohol and didn't show the cleaning part I was looking foward to.😢
Ahh man I didn’t think anyone wanted to see that part I kinda thought you guys would think it was boring so I left it out. Well I’ll definitely include things like that in the future. Thanks for watching.
Im going to try this with my 2004 jeep because im so tired of being strand out there. I thought it was some of the vacuum hoses but now its worse.
@@belindamullins5989 hey thanks for watching. You should definitely try this and if not I’d say check out my other video on the TPS sensor (Throttle Position Sensor) because that’s what ended up solving my issue. Please come back and let me know if this fixed it.
Thanks for the vid! 👍👍👍
Hey thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it. Happy to hear my video helped!
Great video
Hey thanks for watching! Thank you for the comment and sub I really appreciate you!
Link to parts in the description!
This did not fix my rough idle and stalling issues. Next I replaced the throttle position sensor and that solved my problem! Hope this helps. Check out my video on how to replace the throttle position sensor!
hey you should also replace the air intake temp sensor, i had super rough cold starts in the winter until i replaced that and now starts up every time
i also went ahead and replaced the map sensor just in case
@@matthewzombies1458 hey thanks for the advice I’m actually having an issue with cold starts I’ll definitely change my temp sensor.
Thanks for your video, how’s the Jeep running today? I did notice on the video at 10:49 your #5 injector was disconnected.
@@drgil65 it’s running good and I reconnected the injector after the video when I noticed it thanks for the heads up though. Hope you subscribe!
does this part cause high oil pressure
No it doesn’t it causes rough idle and stalling.
did you try plugging in your fuel injector i seen that was unplugged
Hey thanks for watching! Yes lol I plugged it in after the video was finished I forgot why I unplugged it but that wasn’t the issue. Hope you subscribe.
Next issue could be the crankshaft position sensor, cause a rough start/no start and will sound choppy until replaced
Hey thanks for watching and for the tips also don’t forget stalling! Luckily this wasn’t my issue! Hope you subscribe!
will that cause this same starting sound, cuz i just replaced my throttle body and it's still happening. help
@@jdssurftake off the wire from the battery terminals and put the wire brush to it.
@@nathanmccumber8965 you know what, i bought the cheaper throttle body from parts geek and the same cheaper one everywhere comes with the hose on it with an absurd bend in it, no flow, had to by the one with a proper 90 degree bend, worked fine.
If you get a new one do you have to reset the computer or anything? I thought I read somewhere you have to disconnect the battery and reset the computer
Hey thanks for watching! Yes you have to reset the computer. Just disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and it will reset the check engine light and computer. Hope this helps, don’t forget to subscribe!
I got a/c recharge my door vent doesnt open. I got evap leak too.
@nathanmccumber8965 Hey thanks for watching. Sounds like it’s time to switch it out. Hope you subscribe!
