What is the best way to remove this squeak?

I've heard certain lubricants work better than others, and some shouldn't be used at all because they will hurt the actual hinges and remove the grease in the hinge.

Until this mourning when it would not idle at all.... until i started and held the gas down above idle speed for about 60seconds. Also does not idle at a consistent speed and occasionally idles rough.

I will be doing a tune up over the weekend since it is due, which is fairly easy with no plug wires etc just the ignition pack over the plugs.

I am not sure if this will help with my current problem since the computer should correct within reason for any ignition timing if i had bad plugs? yea?

If anyone has any ideas? let me know. If i had a bad part in the ignition system it would throw a code? and the check engine light has yet to come on and everything checked out ok just yesterday.

I recently repaired my speaker in the driver side front door of my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport but when I put the inside panel back on the door lock won't work. The inside lock button is stuck in the on position (but the door is not locked) and will not move and the key lock will not lock the door. If I take the panel off and disconnect the cables to the lock, the lock works per using the cables and the key also works. Its like every time I put the inside panel back on something is out of line. I know I am connecting the cables correctly as it is impossible to get them backwards. The power lock locks the other doors but not this one although I hear it working. I really think this is mechanical, not electrical. I also don't believe the cables got bent as they are pretty heavy duty. I am wondering if something happened to the levers where the cable connects to door. I did the same thing to passenger door, while trying to fix that speaker, but everything went back together without a hitch.

SO, i have replaced the idle position sensor. Cleaned the throttle body but not off the intake clean, but cleaned it.

also the tune up mentioned above.

and no codes, computer isn't throwing back any codes not sure if computer keeps track of this.

When first started for the day,it's ok..... idles a bit high and settles down once warmed up a bit...... so if i keep driving it around and not turn it off it seems to be ok for the most part..... sometimes once it gets up to normal operating temp. it will idle a bit low.

SO i turn it off and start it right back up last week at mechanic's shop and it works just fine of course.

most of the time if i go out and get back in it to go home etc. it either won't start without pushing on the gas, reving it a bit, or kinda driving with both feet.

When this thing acts up you can put it in drive and it idles so low it will learch forward bit at a time.

So if anyone has any ideas, let me know....... I would test for a vacuum leak but don't know how to do that.

Could it be a intermittent problem with the crank position sensor? I had that go bad before but usually the jeep just won't start or runs messed up.

I also can't understand the odd sometimes working behavior....... and no consistent problem to find a solution.

this isn't a 1986 jeep with a carb or something, so not sure whats going on, this sort of can't figure it out stuff should be behind us with OBDII etc? i dont intend to go on any sort of rant but this has been a problem for a long enough now.

ALMOST FORGOT: 2000 jeep cherokee 4.0L ( with the coil packs not regular ignition plug wires etc) ..... its a limited XJ trim, that shouldn't matter but thats what it is.
