Feels weird asking a question about this, but I no longer have $100k in Jeep parts in a warehouse to throw parts at this thing to try. Now that I actually have to pay for stuff, gonna try and do it once.
99 XJ, 155k miles, auto, 4wd 4.0L.
Majority of the time it starts right up, runs good, drives fine. Then occasionally, like this morning, it starts hard and won't stay running. As soon as you let off the gas it'll stall. If you feather the throttle to keep it running and rev it a few times, let it sit at 2k for a bit, etc, it'll sit down and idle fine and be perfect. It did it in the winter, does it in the summer. Now that my son has his permit we are driving it a lot since it is his Jeep. I'd like to get this taken care of in case my wife is ever out with him and it does it. I taught him how to do it this morning when it did it, but he wasn't great at it. He doesn't have the vast experience driving giant turd piles that I do.
I'm thinking IAC, but just a shot in the dark in my previous experience at the shop.
