1990 4.0 engine problems please help
k so like i said its a 90 4dr xj and the idle is just acting crazy! first start up is perfect but after you start driving it the idle will be way high and some times when you stop and put it in neutral it sounds like someone is reving it it jumps from about 800 rpm to 1200 rpm back and forward. im confused and dunno what it could be. in the last 2 months ive replaced the following.
tps, plugs and wires, o2 sensor, cat, did the 703 injector upgrade, and i also put seafoam in my tb and gas tank.
any help would be apreciated

that's a resistor for the fuel pump to quiet them down the thing next to it is the egr solenoid supposed to control when it's open and closed (i plugged my egr tube so it's all deleted)
