Default cherokee problems

what's up guys? I have a 96 2dr 5 speed and after I run it for a long period of time and shut it off she runs rough when I start it back up, then when I put it in gear and give it gas it bogs down until I let off then it picks back up, I just replaced the crank sensor today and it didnt do the job, any ideas on what it could be?

Heat soak to the TPS of IAC? Not sure. I'd have to be there and start testing things.

Sounds like heat soak. Its a pretty common problem on the Cherokee. Hood vents are the easiest solution. There are several write ups on the how to. I had the same problem and solved it with homemade vents.

It does sound like heat soak. Mine did it badly this past summer, but there are plenty of posts out there on it if you look up cylinder 3 misfire xj and what they did to help it. I agree vents are probably the best option to keep it from running rough (misfiring) on the startup.
