For about the last year and a half I have noticed that after I have run my XJ and shut it off for a bit when I get back in and start the truck and drive I sometimes get strange throttle response when first taking off in the truck. The throttle control will start to fall off and if I push the pedal harder it feels like the motor is going to stall or maybe even backfire so I let off the gas and the push the pedal again and it works fine for the remainder of the drive until I shut the truck off again and it sits. It doesn't happen every time but it is an intermittent problem. Plus in the last day or so I have also had idle problems on 2 occasions. My truck wouldn't idle at all when I would start it. Once when it was warm and once in the morning when the truck was cold on first morning start. The first time the problem was fixed after I put it in gear but the cold start wasn't so easy. I had to power brake using the gas pedal to keep the car running and put the car in gear and drove the car for a bit til the idle seemed to work itself out. This has only happened 2 times but it really has me worried.
Is this a common problem? Are the problems related?
Any help would be much appretiated,
