Default High idle in park and gas pedal is a little sensative

My jeep has a relatively high idle in park. I cant find any vaccum leaks or info on what could be wrong. I am thinking maybe a sensor or something. Also I don't know if this is related or not but I can push the gas pedal a little bit and nothing will happen than I just push a little more all the sudden it just takes off. Also the Idle remains high while in gear as well.

From Joe Peters and well stated. Sounds harsh but just makes sense:
"Let’s play a game.

You pretend that you are the only one that knows what year/engine/model, etc that you are asking about.

We will all pretend you never asked a question until you provide at least the bare minimum of information about your vehicle".

This is probably nothing to worry about, i.e. "normal", it's called an accelerator pedal.
