Starting problems

99 XJ had starting problems last night for first time. When starting, when started, it was almost stalling and I had to floor it to get it to move. First time ever happened and after it started fine. Any ideas ?

Fuel filter is part of the fuel pump assembly for your year and doesn't get changed separately. Verify fuel pressure at the fuel rail using a fuel pressure gauge. If you don't have proper pressure, a new fuel pump may be in your near future.

Get your battery load tested at your local auto parts store too. They'll do it for free
