Recently, my XJ has been surging up to approximately 2000 rpm upon startup for about 5 seconds before setting down to about 1000 rpm. The surging occurs only when starting the engine. It has not surged during operation at all. It does this whether the engine is hot or cold, or whether the heater is on or off. This is highly annoying. Anyone have a clue as to what may be causing the engine to surge during startup? My XJ has 186K, although I replaced the engine with a rebuilt longblock 12K ago. The surging has only been occuring the last 2K or so.
