2000 grand 4.7 stock

[cantab27]

ps ,,everything put back as it should be .........I think

[nickyg]

Knock a vacuum line off?
Did you remember to offer a sacrifice to the motor gods?

[Brasscatz]

Question... by "won't idle", do you mean it has an erratic idle or just won't stay running? Do you think it could be a fuel issue? Have ya sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body to see if it would stay running?

[cantab27]

wont stay running ...can put foot on the gas and will stay running

[Brasscatz]

so it's starving of air or fuel. You cleaned up the iac, maybe try replacement? pretty cheap part here... hopefully there too

[Brasscatz]

for further elaboration, I cleaned up the iac on my buddy's jeep and it helped but didn't solve the problem. New one cleared it right up.

[cantab27]

jeep and cheap down here....stop it it hurts when I laugh

See if RockAuto.Com has anything.

Good prices, normally ... and they deliver quicker from the states using USPS - than local cardealers do - airfreighting from Shitney or Melbourne .. :rolleyes:
