Hi.
So I am putting my XJ together after I did Head Gasket with new exhaust header, 99+ intake manifold and bored out TB (just bragging).
When I purchased my Intake, it came with TB and Idle Air Control Valve. So now I have 2 Idle Air Control Valves, original one from 92 is straight and the one from 99 has an elbow. So my first question is, does it make a difference? I looked up 92 XJ idle control valve and the picture shows replacement one with an elbow. Second question is that when I push that thing in, it doesn't come out and it takes some force to push it in. Does it mean that it's shot? Shouldn't it come out by itself?
Third issue is with the head. I remember when I took old head out I broke some kind of sensor on it but now I can't find it anywhere. What kind of sensor is in the head and where is it located?
I have read few threads about replacing that sensor onto the air filter intake tube, but I am so lost, it took me 1 hour to actually find out that the sensor on Throttle Body is called Idle Air Control Valve. I am new to mechanics and don't know any sensor names, but I am learning.
Please advice.
Thank You.
