High idle??
I see alot of posts about high idle switches. What are they for? I don't think I have one on my Cherokee.

Extended Idle was a feature on Police Cherokee's.
It's a simple circuit that increases engine RPM to 1000-1100 RPM to increase the alternator output. It only works when the tranny (Auto) is in Park.

Maybe there's not one for you?
I just did a word search for "high idle" in my FSM (1997-1999) and it only returned one result and that wasn't for a switch. I think all the sensors plus the PCM will likely cover the function of a high idle switch, whatever function it serves that you were reading about. Not sure what differences may exist between yours and mine (a 1997).

I found the write up. It's for '97+ Cherokees Is it the same for other years? Mines a '95 with a stick

On a '95, grounding PCM Pin #10 (Purple wire) should work, at least in an auto trans. You'll have to try it to see in a manual.
Police packages came with autos and column shifters, I don't believe you could get that package with a manual.
