Backstory....
89 Cherokee with its share of issues. 4.0 limited. Good ol' renix.
Has been my daily driver for 2 1/2 yrs, has always had some issues with slightly rough idle and stutters at 1900-2000 rpms but seems to clear up at 2001 rpms. :looney:
Just yesterday I drove it in the morning and parked it in the street all day. Last night I went to pull it in the driveway and it didn't want to start. I finally got it to start feathering the gas enough to limp it to the driveway. I checked all my vacuum lines thinking maybe that was it. Unplugged let sit and re plugged the cps, shot in the dark, because I have had issues about a year ago that it wouldn't do anything someone told me to unplug and reconnect it and it would start. ( worked that time a year ago )
Now to where I am now. I finally got it to idle smooth at about 750-800 rpms by unplugging the vacuum line to the MAP sensor (won't drive down the road because no power). But dies as soon as you plug in the vacuum line. I tested vacuum it is good, I tested the MAP sensor with my volt meter and it is good. What else could it be?
I have somewhat ruled out CPS because it does run with the vacuum unplugged from the MAP.
Also kinda ruled out the IAC for the same reason.
Please help I have to drive this thing to work on Tuesday!!!!!!!!
I searched all night and have done everything I can think of.
