Idle Problem…

So when my 2001 jeep is in drive wile I am sitting at a stop light it is idling at 750 RPM (just below 1000 RPM) and every now and then it jumps up to around 1000 RPM. I have changed out the intake and exhaust, I don’t think that is what caused the problem but maybe I’m wrong… What do y’all think?
