With all the electral problems you've been having I'm not sure of this, but try dropping the negative battery cable for 30 minutes. Re-attach and try starting and idling again. Check all the connections to your sensors, especially to the TPS.

Use a DVM and measure the resistance between the questionable ground spot and the block.

I would work this a seperate problem. It makes sense that it has something to do with the battery, alternator problem but sometimes it's just another problem that happens.

If you work the idling problem by itself, you may find that the battery, alternator caused the problem, but that will be after you have fixed it.

Do the disconnect battery thing, start it up and drive it, don't just let it sit there and idle, or disconnect, reconnect, start it up and manually run the throttle up to 3,000 and hold it there for a couple of minutes. I had a dead spot in my 98XJ for over a year and just lived with it, when I replaced the alt and it sat over nite disconnected and I after I did the repair the dead spot went away.

Reminds me of when one of my vaccum lines came loose...but mine turned off and I didn't even know until I tried to turn the wheel or touch the brakes (going down a long long hill). However mine started right back up until like the 5th time it died.
