Default need help with a 99 XJ sport problem

hi, new to the site and i need some help.

1999 Jeep cherokee sport, inline 6. 4.0L, automatic.

i just replaced the exhaust manifold on the jeep.

the battery died, so i jumped it. when i started the car, it immediately started revving all the way. it seems like someone is stomping the pedal to the floor, but nothing is touching it.

i looked at the throttle body, but it doesn't seem that there is anything pulling on it.

thanks for the help if you can.

chris

Cool

Check to see if you have a vacuum line off. Also look at how the throttle cable is routed that it is not binding
