Just as some info the DS Denso sensor I ordered didn’t fit 🤦🏻‍♂️. I ended up just going to ORileys and getting a walker sensor and it’s been great so far for the last couple weeks!

Oh my apologies 😂. Well the smell already tells me it should be back to what it was before I started having these problems. Once the high idle came it was running incredibly rich, so rich I could smell it. After running for 10 minutes it passed the nose test which is much better than previously...

If the idle issue returns then I'll be going that route for sure. As of the fixes I outlined in my last post, the idle issue is completely gone. She's back to idling around ~750 and no CEL returns as of yet. I'll be taking it out and actually driving it around tomorrow morning so that will be...

Well I'm back to update from the issues I was having in the previous post: My downstream O2 sensor showed up today so I ran up to O'Rileys to grab a throttle body gasket, which was missing for some odd reason, and then went over to NAPA and grabbed an Echlin TPS. I decided to start off with...

I just wanted to update this thread as I have solved my problem! I ran up to Orileys this evening and grabbed a new throttle body gasket to replace the non-existent one. So that is rectified. I also swung by NAPA and grabbed an Echlin TPS to install. My downstream O2 sensor showed up as well so...

Hello again everyone! It's been a minute since I've done any updates so I figured I'd post my most recent issue that I'm trying to diagnose/track down. Recently we've been getting a lot of rain here in SoCal and living in the desert means we get some monster puddles sometimes. My kids love...

Well I took the truck for a drive and the CEL came back on. This time with 2 codes; P0123 and P0138 (I’ve seen the P0138 code before and bought new O2 sensors because of it). Looks like the TPS is going then? Also something worth noting is I have noticed some noise coming from the wheel when...

After doing some more thinking I’m going to try and crawl under the truck and look around and see what’s going on. No CEL makes me think that maybe it’s not the TPS and that it must be a vacuum leak somewhere… Thank you for those torque specs @Jerry Bransford i really appreciate that!

Noted! Thank you very much and I’ll be sure to keep that in mind when I get the TB gasket to install.

I’ve sprayed all of the visible lines in the engine compartment and it didn’t seem to affect anything, I sprayed the entire line as well not just at the ingress/egress points. I’m curious if there’s a fool proof way I can test the TPS so I can see if I’m headed in the right direction. I’ve...

There is no change in the higher idle by spraying the base of the TB, so far the only thing that I’ve found that changes the idle is turning the heater on like I mentioned before and that just makes it surge every few seconds. I’ll probably buy the gasket and install it anyways just to return...

Also wanted to add I have sprayed carb cleaner near the vacuum lines to see if that changes the idle, and it didn’t. I sprayed both breather valves on the valve cover, I sprayed the IM area as well as any of the other vacuum lines I could see from the engine bay. When the heater is on and the...

Hello everyone, So I have a 97 Sahara that’s giving me a high idle problem. The truck just rolled over 44k miles. In SoCal we’ve been having a lot of rain lately and my kids have wanted to go running through the big puddles, so that’s what we did! A few weeks ago, during the rain and before...

Had a random P0138 that’s been popping up and now won’t go away even when cleared. The truck just rolled over 44k miles and after checking the code out seems to point to the O2 sensors. I looked around on Amazon and couldn’t find any sensors listed made by NGK/NTK that “will fit” so I found the...

Well I’m back yet again! So I was having a bit of a dilemma on what to do about the new tires situation. As you guys know, I had the 16x10 RockCrushers on the Jeep and finding tires for the 16” wheels is quite difficult. So, I began looking locally to see what kind of deal I could find on any...
