On Friday jeep started acting funny in the morning with a slow start as well as a high idle when I parked it once arriving at work. Did it several times throughout weekend. She'd crank and crank and sometimes crank a little bit more and then finally turn over. Then once "warmed up" or driven a tad and shifted to park or neutral, rpms would jump to almost 2,000.
And then today at lunch, in the Jimmy John's drive thru (right after I ordered), the jeep died on me. I pushed it two car lengths to pick up my sandwich. Lol. Employee working the window gave me a funny look when I "pulled up", er I mean, "pushed up". Ate my sandwich in half embarrassment, half frustration and then the jeep hesitantly started up.
So, I took it straight home hoping and praying she wouldn't die on me again and she made it back. Got out OBD II scanner and came up with 0505, 0320, 0700 and 0743.
I then went to NAPA and bought CPS, and TPS (it was really busted...like broken and falling apart while still attached to TB) as well as ordered an IAC.
After replacing broke a$$ TPS and CPS tonight, the jeep cranks real fast and no indication of slow start. But, during and after test drive, noticed she still idles high in when shifting to neutral and park. Also idles higher than normal for my jeep. I'm used to seeing 650-700 rpm but I'm seeing 850-950 now.
Jeep shifts kinda hard once "warmed up". Not from 1 to overdrive but from drive into neutral or neutral to reverse or from reverse into park or park into reverse. I thought this was maybe due to high idle or is it a solenoid?
Checked codes after test drive and only getting 0700 and 0743 now. Haven't replaced the IAC but it's not throwing IAC code anymore so I don't know what to think. Dunno if its cause I disconnected the neg. battery cable before replacing CPS and the PCM reset itself or if replacing CPS and TPS actually made those other two codes go away.
So, do I replace IAC (cause it's acting like it needs to be replaced and the code reader threw IAC code earlier in the day)?
Also, any ideas about 0700 and 0743? My searching turns up solenoid testing and possibly replacing if bad. I believe I found a good write up on how to do that but if anyone else has some input, I'm all ears.
Jeep is 97 automatic that is not low on transmission fluid btw. And pours is spelled poors for a reason. Considering all the money I just threw at the jeep I found the joke rather fitting.
