Alright so first of all sorry for the questions in the OEM forum today. I'm brand new to the forums and have just been asking questions. But basically I'm just trying to figure a few things out about my XJ and get everything up to par. I took my XJ to a muddy spot right by my house today just to have a little fun. Everything is completely stock engine-wise. Anyways, I took her down to the local mud hole and just ran through a few times. I've taken it in the snow and never experience this problem though. Anyways, she did fine through the mud and all, but after I drove her down the road and parked, I came out, started up again and for the first few seconds of running my idle was a little rough. I revved and it went away. I'm just wondering if this could be a little water in my intake or what?
