The Dealer "FIXED" My Jeep...

[kballa422 10+ year member]

So my jeep started acting up on me last friday (a week ago from yest.), so i scheduled for a tune up and diagnosis and had it done yesterday. Fro some reason it had been idling right at around 100-200rmp, and sometimes it would even fall all the way to zero and die, but this only happened when i wasnt giving it gas, like breaking for a stop light would just cause my RPM's to plummit.

So i take it in there, and specifically tell them the problems I'm having. I say that it is idling right about zero, and has even died a couple times, but the RPM's plummit when i break, and then when i give it gas its fine.

All in all it costs me $460 to get it fixed, the changed the spark plugs, charged 100 for the diagnosis, and had to do a full body clean fuel induction. So i get it back, and its doing the same **** thing. Idling at 100rpm's, but for the day i drove it, it hadnt died yet. SO i go back in there with my mom and explain it to them, and they come at me with this bullshit...."oh we were told it was stalling and thats the issue we addresses, and it hasn't stalled yet." Basically trying to say they did their job.

Needless to say my mom raised hell and got the manager to finally say whatever the problem is we will fix it free of charge. But its just total BS, why would i go in there saying, make my car not stall, but only fix it so it barely runs, when the most important thing i said to them in the first place was, the RPM's drop when its idle!

oh, well maybe he will stop by and could shed a little light on what the problem could be. I mean they said they would fix it for free, but then again who knows if they will actually do it I just hate how they try to nickle and dime u to death, when im already paying $460 in the first place, just fix it right the first time, shit.

sounds like an IAC motor prob. to me

 

[kballa422 10+ year member]

Whats an IAC motor problem? I got it back from the dealer, its running fine, but it still seems to idle low. Before, if I let off the gas it would just straight plummit, not it doesnt do that, but when I am stopped at a light, and sitting there in drive, it is idling at about 350-300rpm. What is the normal rate? Any any idea how to fix this, obviously they won't help me out and they say its running fine.

IAC=Idle Air Control...it could be the computer not adjusting the rpm's as well, IMO.
