It is computer controlled and any attempt to adjust will get you no where. Check the entire engine intake system for vacuum leaks. Use a can of carburetor cleaner and carefully spry it all over the intake and hoses, if you hit a leak the engine idle will change. You can also do this with a bottle of propane gas. DO NOT GET CARB SPARY ON THE CARS PAINT.

SOURCE: 97 jeep wrangler getting spark not fuel. I

Sounds good ninemil, I would also check for any bent or disconnected fuel lines that would restrict the fuel flow as well. I do not know if this has a fuel pump assembly but you should be able to hear it actuate on when the key is in the "on" position. How did it act before you shut it off? Was it harder to start? Make sure you buy a high quality pump (Carter) many of those cheaper brands will fail trust me.

Testimonial: "It actually had no spark or fuel . It was the computer. Thanks for answering"

Belt goes over power steering pump,under idler on left,over AC compressor,over alternator,over fan (with back of belt ) over crank pulley then over water pump (back of belt) then back to p/s pump. Routing is counterclockwise.

SOURCE: I have a 97 wrangler

Something odd about what you posted. An engine that is running lean shouldn't be using a lot of fuel. Lean is when there isn't enough fuel going into the engine. Two other sensors that regulate fuel flow are the map sensor and throttle position sensor. Temp sensor generally would cause a rich condition but I'd test that too. Be sure to check for vacuum leaks at the manifold and lines as well as fittings... A vacuum leak will give the O2 sensor a lean reading...seeing that, the computer will try to compensate by adding fuel. Clearing codes can change the way it's running but as soon as the computer runs through it's internal diagnostics it will turn the light back on if there is a problem.

My used 97 jeep wrangler fuel / economy problems: My vacuum canister was completely full with crud (replace). also my coolant temp sensor was bad (twice replaced), effects fuel mixture. and O2 sensors were bad (effect fuel mixture) due to being fouled by spraying too much oil on spector air filter (now wipe off excess and let dry in sun), also carb cleaner appeared to foul O2 sensors (stopped using). Also sensor input/output signals were constantly being interrupted by battery sliding into computer harness, which I cured by placing a 1" spacer on rear battery clamp to push battery away from computer. After curing these problems my fuel economy went from 55-60 miles per 1/4 tank to 75-80+ miles per 1/4 tank.

Have you checked the cam sensor? Also does that vehicle have a "throttle position sensor"? Some cars use both MAP and MAF sensors, not sure about your particular vehicle but if it is one of those, cleaning the MAF wouldn't hurt. Good luck.

My 94 jeep wrangler sport 2.5L has been idling very high. I've changed the throttle position sensor, coolant sensor, control valve, replaced the vacuum lines and elbows, throttle gasket and reset it...

High idle could also be of air going in past the MAF mass air flow, just like a vacume leak. Tap the IAC idle air control valve and see if any changes? I normally like to spray water all around the engine specially the vacume pipes and the intake to find leaks (that was old school) now we have smoke machine which is accurate and detects a very small crack.

P0057

A p0057 code is related to the heater circuit voltage for the bank 2 sensor 2 Oxygen sensor. The PCM (computer) controls a heating element inside the O2 sensor that helps the sensor reach a high temp in order for the O2 to start working faster. It seems this circuit is not working, therefor the PCM alerts us by displaying a trouble code. In most cases, replacing the O2 repairs this code.

97 Jeep grand cherokee 6 cyl. idles down to 0 and dies.

any leaks in intake or exhaust upstream of the sensors, sparkplug condition and engine controls/sensors for out of range operation (including fuel pressure and condition of regulator)
IAC should be cleaned and checked as this can cause poor idle and shut down. I'm not saying not to change O2 sensors, but unless everything else if OK, it probably won't help.
