Hello idk if this would help anyone but i figured id ask here since chrysler own jeep and mercedes.
My 89 4.0 renix cherokee does that same thing with only 80 thou on it been doin this for a couple years and i havent been able to tackle it ive replaced a bunch of sensors .
Still tac bounces sometimes from 1000 to 900 rpm others right down to 400 rpm.
In reverse when i hit the pedal to fast it will die in park if i hit the gas too quick up to 2500 rpm and let off the pedal it will drop right down to like 100 rpm and almost die then come back.
Almost sounds like this problem your having

Steve,
Had the same problem, I replaced the Maxflow Sensor (about $50.00 on Ebay) it fixed my problem. You can do this repair yourself it's right on the top of the motor to the left.
Hope this helps you out.
