Reving high
So iv done everything to make it stop revving to 6000rmps iv replaced all the vacuum lines, gaskets, sensors, next thing I'm going with is the harness and computer, what other things can I try?

I had a similar problem, I think, with my 94 grand cherokee. it was an automatic and the gears would not switch until high rpms, had to put in a lot of $$$ on work on the tranny and eventually just bought a new one.

take some carb cleaner or an unlit propane torch or WD-40 and while running go along the TB, IAC, Intake sealing surface the rpms will drop when it gets sucked into the area leaking. If this hasnt been done.

if the wrong gasket or the gasket is broken/or not sealing air will be drawn in and the computer comensatee by adding fuel hence high reving
