you must be talking about the autamatic ... worst thing they ever did was offer an automatic jeep imo. Anyway, the 80's and early 90's jeeps had a , reasonably rare, problem with the accelerator cable getting stuck caught up. A quick tap of the throttle would release it usually, but it is covered free in a recall anyway. It doesn't get stuck too far down though, i had the same, but it just led to a 1500 rpm idle. Sounds not too bad, but for that car thats almost ready to shift into another gear.... Occasionally would idle at 2500 max, but a few stoplights later and you would be back to normal. This is probably what your talking about on the grands. Not a big deal, and be fixed, and doesn't happen all that often. On the manual its really not too big of a deal.
