From your description, most likely there is a problem with the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. Its job is to open at idle to let air in when the throttle is closed. Either it is clogged, or it has gone bad. You will need to remove it and clean it, or replace it. It is bolted to the rear of the intake manifold. When you remove it, try starting the engine with the valve removed so air can get in the intake. If the engine idles ok, you'll know that the IAC was causing the problem.

Another possibility is a leak in the vacuum system. With the engine running, listen closely for any tell-tale hissing sound. Inspect all the vacuum hoses and the air intake duct, and repair as needed.

1998 jeep cherokee wont start unless gas pedal is pressed to the floor will idle fine but revs high when i touch the gas pedalal

Had this problem too, and you need to check that your TPS sensor plug.harness is tight, the best way to do that is to actually unplug it, blow it out and then plug it back in. But the same problem happened again and it turned out to be the CPS plug had come loose, again check it and make sure it's seated well, and everyone will tell you to replace them, but if take a wooden dole, or stick and can tap yours gently down towards the transmission I've found that it works well after that.

Starts just fine but dies at idle. will keep running when stepp[ng on gas pedal

if the car runs fine at high revs, I suggest just turning the idle revs up 150ish, it could be a block cat converter, or restricted airflow making it die. but quick fix turn revs up 150rpm will do no harm and if it dies at higher revs, take it 2 the garage to see if they can find the thing.

Idling problem

Sounds like you need your timing fixed and idle re-adjusted. Also check your fuel filter just in case.
