All jeeps use a MAP sensor
"speed density system" ways and means.
and all race with air leaks, (aka. vacuum leaks) with full power.
did you scan the PCM first?. that be first in every case.
if not , you work totally blind. (must we?)
no engine stated. (size and fuel matters)
making accurate answers impossible.!

2004 Cherokee, not here, not in USA< on this USA forum.
my guess its really a

"KJ / Since 2002 The Liberty (called Cherokee outside USA, very odd that)"
so to USA readers its a Liberty. for sure.
in what country ive not a clue, nor what engine options
they use THERE.

i have the 2002,and 05 KJ FSM book.
i see the exports have diesels. got diesel?
our KJ have 2.4L or 3.7L engines.
both race , with vacuum leaks.

one leak that can happen (not guessing)
1: throttle plate gunked up and now leaks air, because the throttle can not close fully.
2: ISC stuck open. (idle speed control valve)
3: vacuum hoses cracked, or just fell off.?

and 50 more ways to leak air, huge.. .in the real world.
we pinch hoses and use propane gas to find leaks
or the smoke machine.

I had the exact same problem on my 04 GC. I put some Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner in from Wal-Mart and it seemed to fix the problems right away. Let me know.

SOURCE: 1999 Jeep grand cherokee limited - irregular idle

I don 't know if I can solve it, but I had a very similar problem on a 2002 Grd Cherokee Laredo. It ended up being the Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS). Unfortunately the part alone is about $125 and and total installed cost was about $250. It would idle high at first, then gradually work it self down to a normal idle. Once it was warmed up it it would have an up and down RPM during idling, and several times it stalled out at intersections. There was also a lot of transmission clunking going on when you put it in reverse or drive.
Runs like a dream now. Clunking is gone and idle speed is just right.

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Keeps stalling, engine

P0505 means the whole Idle Control system, not only the IAM. Check all related sensors (i.e. crankshaft sensor). Check with a voltmeter direct at the connector of the IAM if you get any signal. Remove the IAM from the TB, connect him, let someone switch your ignition key to ON. The IAM need to drive in/out for a short time to find the right position. Hold the IAM near a hard part, that they cant drive out completely! If IAM works fine, check the fuel pressure, check and clean your TB ( if not done yet). If that doesn't work, come back again please

You may have a faulty sensor, most cases a wheel speed sensor, the light is on warning you that you do not have abs basically your car will stop like an old 70's model car before abs. abs atands for anti lock brakes, it keeps your brakes from locking up under extreme braking.

2000 jeep grand cherokee has sluggish idle sometimes doesnt stay started

You could possibly have a bad EGR valve which would affect the vacuum which affects the idle. Check for a vacuum leak first then check the egr valve

My 1993 jeep grand cherokee laredo idles rough after warm up. it also idels high around 2000 rpm at start up sometimes and needs to be shut off and restarted to calm idle speed. whats is causing the...

usually rough Idle is not noticable at high ildle. Once it is idles normally try Disconnecting one injector at a time. If the idle stays the same than that cylinder is the culprit. Remove that spark. If it is wet than do a compression test. Should read better than 100lbs of compression.If compression is good take a spark plug and hook it into the end of the plug wire.Lay it across the intake,start the car and watch for spark. If you have spark than you probably have a bad injector. A miss will cause the vehicle to idle high. The computer is trying to keep the car from dieing out. Hope this helps. No spark do a tune up.

04 Jeep starts but stalls when put into gear.

make sure your idle air control motor is working, if you give and hold gas pedal a little will it stay running in drive.
