Hooked up my jumper cables the wrong way by mistake in my 97 grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2l does this have a separate voltage regulator component or is it located inside of the alternator IT RUNS HI IDLE?

If the jumper cables were hooked up the wrong way by mistake on a 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2L, it might be necessary to check the alternator to make sure it is turning in the right direction. If the battery is still being charged, the vehicle should be fine. A high idle could be a problem with the EFI or Electronic Fuel Injectors.

What causes over voltage in a car battery?
A bad voltage regulator in the alternator. Depending on year make and model it may be outside or separate from the alternator.
How can you constant the volt of alternator?
The voltage regulator has the job of making the voltage 'constant'. In most modern vehicles the regulator is located in the alternator, in older models the regulator is located separate. If your voltage is jumping around a lot then you either have a problem with the battery (batteries stabilize the voltage also)or the charging system (and probably the voltage regulator)

Bad voltage regulator - not sure whether it is internal to the alternator or a separate unit
Can you hook up a new regulator to an alternator without actually attaching it to the alternator?
Voltage regulators are often built into the alternators now, this wasn't always the case. Older vehicles had separate voltage regulators mounted on firewalls or the side of the engine compartment, wired in between from the alternator to the battery. The positive lead now goes directly to the battery from the alternator/regulator.
