Sounds like you have a vacuum leak.
If you can't spot it with a visual inspection, get a propane torch like you'd use for plumbing.
Turn it on without lighting it.
Use the torch to spray the propane gas on the vac. lines and fittings.
When you come to the leak, the engine idle will jump up because the engine is sucking propane.
...lol better search a little better...https://www.google.com/

Freegdr: I started that reply before you posted and didn't see your response.
I didn't intend to dis you, but I'm real sure there's no ABS in an 89 XJ.

Freegdr is right and I am wrong, ABS was available in 89's.
...but with the high idle I'd still look for a vac leak first.
