Default WTF?!?!?!?

I've been having problems with my XJ running rough at low RPM's when the engine is cold. By running rough I mean that it hesitates really bad like it is losing power. I have to feather the accelerator to keep it going. It clears up in a couple of min's and runs fine. I've changed the IAC, TPS, and MAP sensors. Last year, I changed the CPS and O2's. What the would cause this? Please help me Thanks guys.

Have you cleaned the injectors?

Have you change brands of fuel you buy?

have not cleaned the injectors or changed the type of fuel. I would think that if it's an injector problem then I would had issues all the time, not just when the engine is cold.

Nevermind. Just learned that the last year the XJ had an EGR Valve was 1990.

CHECK YOUR MAT!
The manifold air temp sensor will tell the computer its -42* out if it is bad, this will cause an extremely rich condition...
Scroll down to "manifold air temperature sensor" This is for Renix engines, but AFAIK the sensor is the same..

Itll be something like this:

Just a note: that isnt the one for your jeep, I couldnt find it. So dont go buying this one thinking itll work on your jeep! lol
