1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee: Won't Idle Correctly After Attempted Repair-What Next

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:42:43 -0700

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L ( XJ ) limited trim. It will not idle correctly. below the regular RPM or above..... i replaced the idle position sensor and had the IAC system reset by a friend who is a mechanic. ( idle sensor was to blame, to keep my question short). Everything seemed to be quite fine having done this yesterday. Even seemed to run better/stronger.

Until this mourning when it would not idle at all.... until i started and held the gas down above idle speed for about 60seconds. Also does not idle at a consistent speed and occasionally idles rough.

I will be doing a tune up over the weekend since it is due, which is fairly easy with no plug wires etc just the ignition pack over the plugs.

I am not sure if this will help with my current problem since the computer should correct within reason for any ignition timing if i had bad plugs? yea?

If anyone has any ideas? let me know. If i had a bad part in the ignition system it would throw a code? and the check engine light has yet to come on and everything checked out ok just yesterday.

iPhone 3G: No Service or Very weak service when Idle

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:35:56 -0700

I've an unlocked iPhone 3G with GSM connection. My iPhone 3G sometimes gets very good signal but if I put the phone idle for sometimes (half an hour, more or less) the signal keeps loosing and finally shows "No Service". Then if i reboot it, then it gets full signal.

I've also noticed as long as I put the phone on my hand and it gets worm, there is no Signalling issue but when i left it idle, the problem occurs again.
