High Idling 98 4.0
I just fixed my '98's rear axle and swapped a JY door on. Me and a couple buddies went and bombed some puddles. When I got home I had a high (~1800RPM) idle. It now does this when started.
Just looking for any ideas or common issues before I get into it due to time constraints.
Thanks

The throttle position sensor hates water.
It would be a primary suspect considering that you were just puddle jumping prior to this symptom.

For a 2000, you will need either a scan tool or a code reader, or you can bring your XJ to a parts store like Autozone where they will read the codes for free.
When you get the codes, post the EXACT code numbers here. Not just a description. With OBD codes, the devil is really in the details.

There is only one strategy with a check engine light. That is to read the codes.
