THE_OVECHTRICK Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I Had a low idle problem to make it idle higher I would do nothing but press the clutch, That would prevent the jeep from staling. I did not like having to hold the clutch at stops to prevent it from stalling. I replaced the idle air control valve. This caused the idle to return to normal. Now when I press the clutch the motor sputters and dies completely. 1988 4.0L man. 4wd. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Do all of Cruisers tips. Check for vacuum leaks. Tps mostly fixed my stalling. Still does sometimes. REFRESH. GROUNDS. Important one there. I can assure you that you need to take off and clean your throttle body. Do you have to hold the clutch in at stops even when it's in neutral? It's a Renix. Great engine but I promise you're going to have a fun time finding the source of your problem. Look up my thread Stalling Out Craziness and you'll understand what I mean.

THE_OVECHTRICK Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 youtube link I also went though the tips the tps was low 4.8 ---> .33 so I adjusted that i did not see anything else that would explain why pressing the clutch would cause this.

THE_OVECHTRICK Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 The first thing I did before creating an account was read though those tips. I have done most already. the video show the exact problem. what I can't figure out is that before doing the iac pressing the clutch raised the rpm after replacing it the same action cause the truck to die. what can cause the clutch to have any effect on the idle?

Knucklehead97 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm not able to watch the video because I have slow internet. But if it does it when you're going down the road and then you press in the clutch to slow to a stop, check your cat and muffler. Mine were exploded and cause my truck to die instantly whenever I pressed the clutch in last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading doesn't accomplish as much as doing them. Do Tips 1 through 5 and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_OVECHTRICK Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks for all the help I received from you guys. like I had mentioned the first thing I did before even making an account with you is read the tips and searched the fourm. I know reading and doing are different things. none of the tips were my problem (even though they all help with furture problems) I knew that before I even posted. I fixed the issue.
