'99 - revved to 2k rpm at idle, CEL turned on, now ticking
It revved up to 2k rpm immediately upon starting (my feet were no where near the gas peddle, it was all on its own) and took about 30 seconds before it eased itself down to just under 1k rpm. As soon as the rpm slowed I could hear a fast ticking from the passenger side of the engine. The CEL turned on, but I wont have a chance to get the code pulled until tuesday. Any ideas what it could be? Seems to be running fine other than the ticking.
It's a 99 cherokee sport 4.0 4x4.
