Long, involved story, but when I got my MJ the throttle body looked
like someone had baked the crud on. Every passage and opening was
plugged. After cleaning the TPS and it's connector, I pulled the IAC
motor and cleaned the motor shaft and inside the port. Both those
helped. It took a wire to clean out the MAP port which made a big
difference. I finally got PO'd and pulled the throttle body off,
stripped it, and ran it thru a solvent bath in an ultrasonic cleaner -
it was that dirty. Like Mike, I have to pull and clean the TPS
connector every so often anyway.

Re: Automatic Choke Adjustment
Hey Mike,
I've heard you mention this quite a bit... Is there no way to "tape-up" the
connectors to prevent dirty from getting in?
I know there are anti-oxidant products out there....but they might be messy.

Re: Automatic Choke Adjustment
The best I have found is to use dielectric grease on the seals. Still
when they get old they do get shaky and need to be cleaned.
I have seen folks recommend tossing out the CPS connector and just
soldering the wires together because it is so common for the plug to
crap out. It sits right on top of the exhaust manifold and dies easy.
