This morning I figured I would start with your list from top to bottom. Like I previously state my grounds at the main ground source were all stuck together, I will re-address them once I can get back up to my dads shop. I moved on to the c101 connector, pulled it and it was a mess. I cleaned it to the best of my ability with break clean and some small picks, plugged it back in and tightened down the bolt. Fired the jeep up, I did have to give it a little gas, given its about 30* where I live that didn't bother me much, I didn't have to hold down the pedal but for maybe a minute before it would idle on its own and idle rather smooth. I think once I get the butterfly adjustment bolt back in the throttle body and adjusted correctly the Jeep will be idling fine.
I've read up on how to adjust the butterfly on a post from cruiser, what I took from it is, adjust the screw until you see the slightest bit of movement in the butterfly. Correct me, if I'm wrong?

Probably not enough for you to notice. Have you tried to manually push/pull on the pintle (the end plunger type piece)? If so it could be already damaged as the stepper motor is very fragile.

Strong words.
I'll offer another viewpoint.
If you're not hurting for money, just replace the IAC, MAP, and TPS all in 1 shot.
I think they are all a simple replacement, unless you strip out your screws.
This will save you time & money, and get you to work for sure.
In the long run, that's just fewer things that will eventually break and leave you stranded.
It pays to ensure your car's gonna get you to work, every single day, above all else.
