Hello All-
I am still chasing a idle problem with my 1996 XJ Sport which is an automatic, 4.0. Origionally, the vehicle would not idle at all even though I could start it and keep it going by stepping on gas pedal. Upon the advice of the folks on this forum, I replaced the IAC and it seemed to have fixed the problem. However, ocassionally, the vehicle will exhibit a similar idle problem but I can nurse it along by stepping on gas pedal until it will finally idle on its own. Is it possible that the IAC is a defective part? Additionally, I had a question on the IAC installation. The instructions state that the pintle should protrude no longer than 1 1/8" which I construe as a maximimum length. But is their a minimum length? The length of the replacement pintle measured 7/8" while the origional IAC measured 1 1/4". Does anyone know if the pintle should be adjusted to a minimum length? Thanks in advance for all your help and support.
