Default High idle on 96 4.0 xj?

After my xj runs for a while like an hour drive on the hwy if i put it in park it will idle higher than normal. After i turn it off then turn it back on the idle is normal. What could cause this.

Clean your IAC, throttle body (and valve!) and check your TPS. These three are involved in your idle rpm's.

If not fixed: check for intake leaks 9but it appears yours is doing is when warm, not all the time?)

Yep only does it when it is all warmed up. I will give those things a try. Thanks!
