ok time for an update! i took care of the grounds now have two extra, one from the battery to the radiator,and one from the firewall to the back of the head with some dremmel work, cause it didnt want to fit. the jeep is much smoother but still low idle! i still need to check the resistance but here is a pick after i left napa of where my idle is sitting!

Amazing isn't it?
Too bad so many people don't believe it, huh?
What's next? Did you do #5 sensor ground test yet?
Did you voltmeter read that high before the refreshing/adding of grounds?

ok i know i already updated this, but yes i have done three, took the jeep out for a spin, throttle response feels great now, i can tell those grounds are doing something. retested the ohms and it looks like i have .1 resistance now. i will look again for more connectors/ relays to clean! but idle acts alot better now but still chills out at the pic above maybe alittle higher, but still drops to about there. almost there! i am looking for the 10 pin you talk about cruiser54.

.1 is GREAT!!
10 pin connector is forward of the air cleaner and behind the headlight on the driver side. Wouldn't cause this issue. Have you tried adjusting the TPS on the engine side now that the grounds are done properly?

I wonder if it's bad as in has a bad spot in it. Unplug the engine side of the TPS and see if it runs differently.

i just unplugged the tps 3 pin connector, at idle its about 800-850 rpms nicely kinda, soon as i put it in gear it goes to about 600, then i move the jeep and let it settle and it goes to about 490ish to about 500. it stays around that area even after the jeep is put into park maybe 550 ish. what does this tell us?

That's the same or different as before?
Trans plug still plugged in is fine.
Throttle body has been cleaned, right?

throttlebody has been cleaned, im really confused now, and as far as before i would start it it would drop to 750 stay there and drop again to about 500-550. so not the same as before but close.

just to make sure i tested again just under 1000rpm in park, 750 in drive, drive it and it drops to 550 and stay there no matter what. with tps connected
unplugged the tps 3 pin connector, at idle its about 800-850 rpms nicely kinda, soon as i put it in gear it goes to about 600, then i move the jeep and let it settle and it goes to about 490ish to about 500.
