Jeep Liberty stalls at idle.

This Jeep would not stay running if you released the accelerator and tried to let it idle on its own. Just a slight throttle opening and it would idle at normal speed. So, the idle rpms were too slow. I'm going to make this one quick and simple, because it turned out that way. I like to pull up iac counts and engine rpms for a quick way to see if the throttle plate may need cleaning. Ideally the counts should be between 10 and 24. Higher and it probably needs a throttle cleaning.


This one does need cleaning.


After cleaning you can see the counts have dropped dramatically.




I said 10-24 is ideal. A idle relearn and all is good. 

No stalling. Good numbers.

Thanks for viewing!
