I noticed this about half way through the trip, but ignored it. Now I realize that it may be a problem.
When I start my Jeep, it idles at 2000 rpms. When I put it in drive, it goes down to 1000rpms. And when I put it back into park, it goes up to 2000rpms.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Its baffling me (my father who is a novice mechanic says it may be the sensor?)
I have a TJ and its an automatic.

I bent my rear license plate and the plastic thing that holds it to the body. Good thing I put in the LED's or might have lost a taillight. As for your problem--- go to JeepForum.com and post up. You'll get an answer real quick. And, did it start before or after you went up ON TWO WHEELS?

Neal, sounds like a IAC motor (Idle Air Control motor) located on the side of the throttle body, cheap and easy to replace. go to NAPA to get one for like $30, but do NOT get one at autozone, they are POS!
Matt, as for the Plate, total loss! No way we can help you there!

Oh ya my Damage, that rear drivers side spring perch is pretty beat! and bent real bad! The only reason why I kept hammering it is cause I though it was the rockers hitting the rock, those I coud care less about! but when I got out I looked, rockers are fine but the spring perch, OUCH! rear spring since has a wierd angle to it. I hammered it back the best I could, but oh well, if it breaks, it breaks!

Thanks Johnny. You da man! And Matt, it happened right after I was on two wheels and just before I hit that tree on the way down that same hill. My Jeep now has more bumps and bruises than Mrs. Bobby Brown! ps. thats a great slogan for NEJ "if it breaks, it breaks"

The real damage is under the hood (thye IAC). But I also smashed two of my bumperettes and my oil pan skid plate has a few new scratched.
Im still trying to figure out who took pics of me while on 2 wheels.
All I remember is Billy saying "you're on two wheels. Someone get a camera."
And I said "yea, Im on two wheels...someone get the winch!"
