2001 Jeep Cherokee Aniv Engine Idle Problems after Rebuil by yeats66

Hello...I am new to this group. I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 4X4. I just had the engine rebuilt by NAPA. The new engine is installed and connected. I started it up and it was idling rough. I noticed some vacuum leaks on the injectors so I replaced all of the O-Rings. That seemed to fix some of the problems. I checked the onboard computer and there are not error codes. The engine sounds great when you run in above 1000 RPM. It just when it idling is when it is rough. There are no air leaks. All of the sensors are connected. Before the engine died(before it was rebuilt) it ran and idles normally. Does anyone have an opinion?

Still sounds like a vacuum leak of some sort.

I have triple checked numorous times...i thought there may be a leak on the manifold but there was not. Any other suggestions?

I suggest a quadruple check on the vacuum lines. Maybe one of the check valves on the valve cover is reversed?
Usually a rough idle will eventually be chased down to a vacuum line either partially connected, disconnected, or connected to the wrong place.

I have a 1988 Cherokee that needs to have the AC charged, but I am calling around to find prices for this service and cant tell what kind of AC fluid I need. Does anyone know if it is R12 or 134A in this model?

Refrigerant by lildavidjax

A decal on your radiator support or the firewall should tell you what kind of refrigerant it takes. IF it's R12 it will need to be retrofitted for R134A. No way around it. It's law.

Took my Cherokee to Autozone and they ran diagnotics. Code says I have either a failed transmission range sensor,,or ,, Open or short circuit condition...My question: Where is this range sensor located and how do I trace open circuit with this thing. Part only available at dealers I understand. Any reply would be appreciated. 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0l auto 4 wheel drive.

I know it's an old post but have you found out the problem. I am having the exact same issue. Already replaced TPS, and the 2 O2 sensors. Problem is still there.
Thank you.

neutral safety switch by fisherpat

It appears that my neutral saftey switch for transmission on my 2000 cherokee 4.0l has gone bad. I had posted earlier saying it was my transmission range sensor and that is not the case. Is it all right to drive with this condition around town until I can get it fixed????

Chris,
I have a 2001 Cherokee, and have the same issue. Have you been able to resolve this, and if so, could you elaborate?
Thanks.
