Does any body one here have any clever way of bending tubing (for instance just one inch hrew) if you don't have a bender? without kinking it?

I have no idea how this site works but how ever i will ask my question anyways.
I drove my jeep through a river which I have driven through before and I have driven through deeper water also. but after this last time I drove back to camp and the check engine light came on. I got to camp shut it off and then tried to start it and it would not start unless i put the peddle to the metal. the once it started it idled at around 1200rpm.
which it usually idles at 800 rpm. then the next day I drove it to kadel's autobody and had the diagnostics computer read my jeep. It said idle air control motor and I took the throttle body off and the completely apart cleaned everything. the check engine light went off and 3 engine starts later it went back to running like it was so i bought a brand new idle air control motor and then the check engine light went off but the engine was idleing at 3000 rpm, and then 3 engine starts later the check engine light came back on.
so untill I get it figured out I put the old idle air control motor back in it so it wouldn't idle so high.
its and 93 sport 5 speed 4.0l high output with 263XXX miles.

EDIT: Your Coolant Temperature Sensor is on the thermostat housing in '93. It is not the same as the Coolant Temperate Sending Unit (that operates the gauge on the dash) which is at the back of the head.

So after I put in a new water pump a week or two back, again and installed a gatorback my mysterious chirp vanished, I was so happy since I have replaced every fracking thing on the front of the motor, all was wonderful for 4 days. Now it's chirping again. I have been thinking about putting 6 .357 size holes in my jeep this last week. So tired of tracking this down, I don't know what else to do, everything seems aligned well enough. I have tried the mechanic route and they told me 3 different things 3 different times. I will be getting a new motor soon, smoking all the time now, what are the chances of the chirp plaguing me after that's done? Should I find some new brackets before hand? Any advice would be appreciated. Oh and anybody have a spare hinge pin that will fit my 94? I broke one last week trying to put my 1000lb doors back on.

So I have 35 minutes to kill before lunch, I'm not supposed to still be at school. So I'm currently hiding in a gravity feeder I've been working on.
