I want to clear something up about my IAC module.
First, am I correct in deciding that it was the module mounted on the left side of the throttle body (when looking head on) on my 1990 XJ. The one on the right had a little lever on it that rested under another lever that turned the "air intake plate" (for lack of correct terms). That led me to decide the other was the IAC.
I have read a lot of threads that said the IAC could be dirty and sticking open or sticking shut. I took it off and it doesn't look dirty at all to me.
All I see is a goldish "cap" with a rubber bullet shapped rod with a metal cap on it sticking out of the goldish "cap." Y'all with me so far?
How can I tell if the IAC is bad? Should that rubber bullet be moving or not. I can't make it move by pulling it, pushing it, or turning it.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
