Replaced alternator with re-furbish from O'reilly's. Most of time was spent getting the belt just right. Success 100%. Bought battery charger and charged battery before driving. Cleaned IAC valve and reinstalled. I tried a new one off ebay and it did not work. So replaced original IAC...

I recently cleaned IAC Valve which is a 20 minute job, actually replaced it but the 3rd party one was not quite right, so I replaced the orginal cleaned one. Idling at stop lights nicely.

Used brake cleaner. Certainly got the part spic and span. Followed YouTube advice... from some fellow that worked on same Jeep as mine. One day in, the Jeep seems to Idle ok.

I like that green YJ. Anyway, here is a pic of my cleaned up IACV at rest the plunger is extended - my thought was just to put in a new one, but I want the one that will operate smoothly. Your O'Reilly's story gives me a scare. My confidence in the cleaned up IACV here is about 50%...

I cleaned the port, wiped off, and now it is working thanks. Made sure I did not tighten as tight - the plunger on mine looks "longer"than the plunger on the replacement IACV that I see at the parts store for this Jeep. But thanks, it is idling and stays running. <SOLVED>

Hi - 95 Jeep YJ, I removed IAC valve and cleaned with brake cleaner, let dry, and reinstalled snug with o-ring - seemed to connect ok. Now when I start car and let foot off gas, it stalls. Did this twice. Did I damage the part? checked connections around the area. thanks

Done! locking pliers. Easy extraction. New bolt from hardware fits perfect.

Agreed, Torque wrench put away. Thanks. Need to decide the best way to get this bolt out now.

Dudemen! thanks all - removed the valve cover and there is a 1/4" plus end of the bolt sticking out of the hole :) need to find a plan to get the bolt out the right way, i.e. pb blaster, vice grips? Don't want to mess this step up. Then I need a new bolt stud (J400 7310) I think. Need to...

Me. I am. Best at overturning bolts... My amazon torque wrench was an epic fail, I broke a bolt while replacing a valve cover gasket. Now there is a way for oil to leak out of the valve cover I think. Should I try a screw extractor, or is there a way just to "plug" this opening? Ideas? Wow...
