This problem basically came out of nowhere. I was driving my Jeep last night and it felt a bit sluggish, I honestly thought it was because I was driving a different vehicle just before that with a bit more power than my Jeep but I drove again today and there is definitely something going on. Let's start with the Jeep: it's a 2000 XJ classic with 4.0 and automatic transmission. What's happening is it feels like it's starting out in 2nd or 3rd gear. With the pedal floored it'll rev up to about 2000 rpm and accelerate much slower than in 1st. It's really only a problem when the vehicle comes to a stop, it seems to be shifting fine when in other gears. When I shift into 1st/2nd instead of drive it starts the same very sluggishly. I've looked up the issue but it seems like all the info is for Grand Cherokees or older Cherokees. Does anyone know what the issue might be? I don't want to take it in somewhere if it's something I can fix at home for cheap.
