    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    Looking back, I agree the feeler gauge method of determining the gap might be a bit questionable or outright incorrect. Also yes, the transfer case is a huge bummer, but I ain't giving up on it. I'd like to thank everyone who's helped out in this thread, especially mewz. When I turn 21 next...

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    Alrighty folks, I think this might be a wrap. Since I've literally tried EVERYTHING... I decided to finally adjust the butterfly stop screw, and it brought the idle down!!! I guess the thing was just taking in too much air through the butterfly? I took my original throttle body, I shined a...

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    Got a video from a friend. Only thing I really noticed is that my O2 sensor is a teensy bit slower, and that my STFT is different. In gear (idling around 850rpm), my STFT swings between 90-115. In Park/Neutral (idling between 1000-1100), my STFT swings between 110-130. Does this information tell...

    I think what I could use, is a video of someone's Renix running in closed loop in Park, and having them scroll through all the sensors in their Renix Engine Monitor so I can see how theirs looks, that way I can compare it to mine and see if anything is off. That would be of immense help.

    C101 has been deleted, and all sensor grounds soldered..

    Tried a different MAP sensor. Nothing.

    Well, a new throttle body didn't fix the issue. Other than maybe trying a different MAP sensor, I don't know what else to do.

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    I got some vacuum caps at Napa this morning. I plugged every unnecessary vacuum line going into the intake manifold. The only ones I left connected was the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator, Map sensor, and CCV. This means that I capped off the brake booster line, the EGR diaphragm...

    I can't seem to upload the photos directly to the site from my computer, so I've compiled them into a little google doc. Hopefully, it's good enough. I did take some pictures a while back of how dirty my throttle body was. In those pictures, on the right side of the throttle body, a clean and...

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    I was possibly thinking this, or maybe throttle shaft seals. Although I find it a bit strange for them to be worn down enough at only 150k miles. But I guess anything is possible. When I cleaned the throttle body for the first time back in 2023, it looked like it hadn't ever been cleaned before...

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    So I got home from school not too long ago, and since the Jeep was nice and warm from the ride home. I decided to do some more quick tests. I removed the throttle body-to-airbox boot and started the Jeep. The thing idled perfectly around 750-800 for maybe 5-10 seconds, then it went back to...

    This will likely be my next route, testing of course. See if it makes any difference.

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    I checked all the fittings that thread into the throttle body. All are tight. Air is getting in somewhere?? Since covering the IAC hole doesn't drop the idle when it warms up..

    1987 Renix High Idle Issue

    The RPM difference doesn't sound like a lot but it is very noticable when shifting from Park to Reverse. Very very hard slam. No slam when the jeep is idling normally while cold. I like the idea of checking all the threaded vacuum ports in the intake, I'll check them tomorrow. Also, you're...

    Another thing that just confuses me to no end is the fact that the Jeep idles PERFECTLY, in gear. Between 750-800, even when warm. But the second that the shifter goes into Park or Neutral, it rises to 1000. When cold, the Jeep idles close to 750 in park, but it slowly rises as it warms up.
