Sounds like a possible vacuum leak. A vacuum leak will cause a high idle because the intake is pulling in more air than it thinks. Air is drawn in from the air box and THAT air passes through a mass air flow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air coming in and the computer determins how much fuel to mix with that. If you have a vacuum leak, the mass air flow sensor does not get to measure that air thus you are getting more air through the intake than what the computer is delivering fuel for, resulting in a high idle. Does the idle stay higher than normal even after its warm? Can you hear a hissing sound under the hood? One way of locating a vacuum leak is by using carburettor cleaner. With the engine running, spray around the gasket area between the intake and the head. You are listening for a sudden change in RPM. If you hear this change in RPM, that location you sprayed is the source of your vacuum leak. If not at the gasket areas, spray all around all hoses going to the intake and all hose connections going to the intake (don't forget the hose that goes to the brake booster which is what the brake fluid resivour is attached to) Again, you are trying to create a change in RPM. Good luck!

I went through a deep puddle and now it iddles but stalls when I step on the gas gas

let it idle for a while so the water can boil or evaporate out of where it got in. The warm engine will speed the process.

Check the electrical system--distributor cap and plug leads for moisture. Check all wire connectors for water ingress and dry out. If you were driving for some time then the cat converter would be hot and immersion in water such as you describe is the best way to crack the insides and block up the exhaust.

Sounds like you might have a weak fuel pump.You need to check your fuel pressure you didn't say which engine it has but if its a 5.7 you need 9-13 psi with the engine running.If its not within the specs then replace the fuel pump and filter.

Engine will not idle, high idle ok. 1985 aries 2.2L

usually when a car wont iddle it may have a blown head gasket , remove oil filler cap on rocket or tappet cover check for creamy coloured oil , if so blown head gasket , also when morot is cool remove radiator cap and check fro brownish residue under cap if so blown head gasket .
remove each spark plug if one or more of them is white on tip of plug water is getting into cylinder ..

if none of these some carby's or throttle body's have iddle screww which can be adjusted to speed up iddle , or if throttle body it may have an iddle soleniod which may need to be replaced ,
i hope for you is is just and iddle issue , both the solenion and head gasket arnt cheap to fix.
the soliniod although easier to remove and replace its cost is usually .... expensive on most makes of cars , dont know why just because there greedy dealerships !

hope you need only to adjust carby or check timing is o.k

good luck hope this helps

Over iddles in park

For the high rpm part, have you looked to see if there is a vacuum leakage or possibly a fault in the Idle Air Control motor.

With overheating since jeeps are single belt driven it could be possible the fan is starting up when driving slow or parked because the belt is moving right. Or look for leaks in the coolant maybe it's not getting enough coolant.

fluid in the glove box though, can you be more specific with that one.
