Somewhere you broke something.

I think I'm going to make a call to some jy's after I first try reseting as posted in the link again.
I'm looking into upgrading injectors. found lots of conflicting opinions on which are best. Think I'll stay clear of jy injectors. Leaning towards the neon 2.0 95-96 or the Ford XR3's. Any opinions welcomed and appreciated.
I did this to my 2000 sport about 3 weeks ago. last few days the pedal seems to stick and engine randomly idles fast. Cable end actually popped off pedal yesterday.

I bought them used on ebay for $40. Then I bought the rebuild kit online. A must IMHO. The filter/screen was dirty. I honestly don't see how the companies say they can clean them after seeing the design and how dirty it was. Anyway, well worth the $30 or whatever the kit was. So, that puts you at $70. New is $190 iirc. Tough call. I might go new this time around. Plan on keeping for my boy to drive. Ill weight it out. I hope this helps.
Don't expect a cherokee with a hemi. You will notice the highway speed, its much smoother, little more horse power. The idle is as well. Worth doing? Yes.

I don't expect anything as far as power or mpg. Looking for a smoother, more stable idle.
Put double platinum spark plugs in which seemed to help a month ago.
Heck, it helps a lot, thanks! great price but if they come like you said... gives me a little to think about. But it sounds like they did the trick for you.

Yes, i'd do it again, and will once I get my intake. Ill have to weight it out also (new or rebuild another kit).
This may sound stupid, but what is the point of bigger/wider tires?
For SNOW, I read that you are better off with narrow tires (less interference)
Also, bigger tires reduce mpg.
So, are bigger tires just for higher clearance in the trails?

bigger = more clearance to axles and better approach to obstacles.
generally bigger = wider also to keep the sidewall ratio reasonable, with some variations

And you want narrow tires in the snow (ice, actually) to focus more weight per square inch. Think of it as wearing ice skates vs shoes. On pavement, wider tires offer more traction but reduce gas mileage. Offroad, as dukie said, wider is usually a byproduct of bigger.
