Default Xj bogging out???

I went offroading a little bit yesterday and thismorning when i went to start my jeep it wouldnt start unless i gave it gas. So i had to drive all the way to school with my foot on the gas. But when i parked at school and let it idle it was fine. Then after school it was doing it again. It seems to run better but still tries to bog a little after its warmed up. What could this be?

Sounds like you might have a clogged catalytic converter. Offroading probably knocked the internals in the cat loose.

x2 on the cat/crushed exhaust. If you went through water check the cap.

It could be a number of things. Have you inspected the engine bay to see if mud or water soaked any sensors? Check o2's? I'd say get the fuel pressure tested and get a code reader on it, even I the CEL isn't on, there may be a code stored in there that will give you some direction.. About thought is the TPS. Good luck.

I figured out that has something to do with my idle air control valve. But i replaced it and it doesnt work properly still so it has to be something with the wires or the computer or something i think.
