It was actually high idle ... high as in, roughtly 11,000RPM. Turns out the throttle plate was adjusted too far open but just by a few millimeters. Boy, what a difference it made.
I still have to readjust the TPS according to the new throttle plate setting. It idles about 1200RPM in park and about 800 RPM in drive. I think after the re-calibration, it should return to normal.

11,000 eh? That's impressive! lol.
I'm trying to figure out why mine WON'T idle. Lately in cool/cold weather it's not wanting to idle much at all for the first 5-10 seconds after I start it. It will stumble and try to stall, but not completely stall out. Giving it gas helps a little, but it chugs indicating a misfire. After that 5-10 seconds it clears up and all is well.
TPS is less than 1 year old, and IAC was cleaned when I replaced the TPS. I know it needs a tune up and I hope to do that this Friday after I work on another Jeep. Any suggestions anyone?

Speaking of idle issues... Ryan (ChattTacoma05) now has an XJ that idles correctly. His was a bad IAC motor. It now idles at 750-800 RPM instead of 1200. It should pass emissions now. But we'll see. Everybody keep their fingers crossed.

Re-did my headlight harness and installed some Autopal 90/100W bulbs in my IPF housings today after work. Also started on a high idle switch.

Neat and orderly wiring is particularly sexy.
My MJ sprung a coolant leak on the way home from work today. It was leaking oh so barely from the bottom of the t-stat housing. Apparently I didn't tighten the lower bolt enough or something.
