I had a hose blow on me last week, the little one coming out of the t-stat housing. Ever since my jeep's been idling a bit rough. I cleaned some connections and it improved, but it still sputters a bit when I'm stopped in gear. MPGs seem a bit low too but it is getting colder out. Is there anything else I should look at? It's a 1990 with a 4.0 and AW4.

Check the distributor cap and plug wires. Remove the cap and make sure all is dry underneath.

Oil and coolant are uncontaminated.

No, but temps have been all over the past week. My jeep sat for a few days so I just wanted to cover the possibility of water in the tank.
