throttle issue
ok so, when i am driving and then stop and turn off my jeep, then come back like a couple min later i start her and she coughs and sputters on me then i give her some gas and it sounds even more terrible then i floor it and after a few secs of sounding terrible it starts to sound better still coughs till i get to driving again, then another thing its been like this for a while when i floor it bogs then if i lift my peddle up about to 3/4 throttle it seems to have full throttle, but when i floor it it will cough sometimes to. i have no clue what would be causing it to do this any help would be grateful. this has all been happening for about 3 months now.

the first one sounds like iac on the the throttle body,the second can also be the iac,but it also sounds like the tps. In addition I would give it a good tune-up,like plugs,cap.and rotor if have not latley.

possibly the TPS, also try taking out a couple spark plugs and clean em real good. mine did some of the similar things did both and it worked for me.
