Hi I got a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited with a v8 engine when I turn my car on it revs up to 3000 rpms and stays up there and sounds like im pressing the gas it stays like that for about 20 seconds. Do you know what the problem can be?

Do you know where that would be located on the jeep?
And how do I test the throttle position sensor?
