Random Uncontrollable Revving
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this for my buddy's 1998 Cherokee?

No one was in the Jeep touching the gas. It was just doing this on its own.

We thought maybe it was one of the Oxygen sensors, so we replaced that today.
This was really weird because it was idling and then started doing this. Literally the RPMs were going from 800 to 300 and back up then back down as you see in the video. If you punched the gas, everything ran fine, but it would start doing this again as soon as you let off.
I put it in Neutral and the Jeep completely stalled and died. It fired back up and the revving was gone.
It does this all the time intermittently. So we are having trouble diagnosing it.

yes. check the TPS, IAC, and check all the air ducts/ everything before the intake manifold. Also check all the vacuum lines, because an engine will move/ twist in different ways. also, whats the temp of the truck when driving/ does it have a normal operating temp?
