ocean Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 just curious, I thought they did but there's a foot of wet snow on the ground and I don't really want to get wet. LOL (And why would checker auto not carry a replacement CPS, or be able to order one? Is it a dealer direct sort of thing?) What are the symptoms of a CPS going bad? Thanks for the replies
Geonovast Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yes you have a CPS. Bonus of the 2.5 is you don't have to crawl on the ground to change it. Symptoms are usually a no-start, or randomly dying while driving. It's the same part for a 4.0.
Geonovast Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Oh, and I'll take your snow if you don't want it. This'll be my first winter away from WI and I think I'm gonna go through withdrawal down here in the depths of Missouri.
ocean Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 thanks geo snow...? you can have all you want/ where do you get another CPS?.... NAPA?
Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 You can either grab one off a junkyard XJ/MJ or most parts stores will be able to get you a new one for around 60-70 bucks.
Jakeman17 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Nice has died a few times but i thought i just let of clutch. I swear i didnt though
Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 My first two XJs had a habit of dying when you'd put in the clutch. It wasn't a CPS problem, they just had bad IACs.

Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 You can clean/change an IAC in no time at all.

Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I've never bought one, but to clean it, it'll cost you a can of O2 sensor safe throttle body cleaner, which usually run about 4 bucks. Pop the throttle body off, spray it, scrub it all down with an old toothbrush, wipe it out and throw it back on. Probably be a good idea to pull the IAC out to clean it up.

Jakeman17 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I cleaned it all today and it seems to idle better but i will see after if completely cools down. I did die on me today after school. I started it. left my spot got halfway down the aisle and pushed the clutch all the way in and it died. it had a hard time staying alive it seemed like but after warm up it was perfect

Jakeman17 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Clean the IAC its run so much smoother next is plugs though
