How do you replace idle air control motor on 2002 jeep grand Cherokee?

Answer 1

Remove the aircleaner snorkle from the top of the throttle body. Remove the throttle body from the manifold after unplugging the connectors and the cables. Remove the two screws that hold the iac on it's base. Replace it in reverse order. The one I did took several on offs to get it to return to a good idle, This was after warmup, I turned the key on and pressed the accelerator to the floor five times and the light came on and said done, it started off at 3k again so I would let it run a very short time and then turn it off to let the heat soak in a little then turn it on again, this time I turned the key on and floored it ten times not with the motor running of course. It acted like the iac needed to calibrate itself or something. Also in the process we put some metal tape with a small hole punched in it, over the opening in the throttle body to restrict the air till it warmed up at a safe 1500rpms.
