I'm experiencing the symptoms of heat soak at different temperatures. I can start my '99 Cherokee XJ in the mornings on a cold or hot day and I'll get a sputtering in the engine response when I pull out of my drive (It goes away after driving for a couple minutes.). When I let the engine warm up for a bit longer before pulling out of the driveway, the sputtering can be less prevalent.
Then, I can also get heat soak in the more typical scenario, like when the engine has been running for a long while and then I turn it off and sit for a bit and then start it back up. It can also occur if the engine is idling for a long period of time and the engine heats up.
My question is, can I have actual heat soak in the morning before the engine has gotten up to temp, or is that a sign of something else, like a bad fuel pump?
I'm not sure if I have two problems or one.
