I had a similar problem , try cleaning out your stepper motor (idle control valve) Located on the side of your throttle body , there is a suitable spray you can buy from the auto shops that will clean it

What could cause a 1993 jeep grand cherokee's engine to idle high when in Park?
How high does it idle in park? It could be a few things depending on the amount of idle. It could be a vacume line, it could be your idle screw. If you will post or email me at mudislife2@yahoo.com the amount that it idles at than i can help you more from there.
Your 94 jeep grand Cherokee limited idles fine then dies when you put it in reverse but not all the time it happens once then runs fine for a week what are you looking for?
the planetary gears are locking up in the tranny. your trans case could be getting hot ,over heating the tranny or your tranny could need flushing. this is serious i wouldn't drive until it is fixed if you like your jeep and don't want to spend alot of money.

Whats wrong when your jeep grand Cherokee idles and the temp skyrockets to 260 degrees but is fine when its moving?
Most likely cause is a faulty coolant temp gauge located on top of the front of the water pump, toward the front of the engine, or the water pump is bad. The fan is attached to the water pump and the drive belt rides on the water pump pulley. The reason the engine returns to normal idle when moving is that air is circulating the engine, and the coolant, and the sensor detects that the engine operating range has been reached. to fix, drain the coolant, remove the temp sensor, replace, and refill the radiator. If thsi does not solve the problem, its the water pump. Tim
