I've had this problem for a little while, actually since i got the truck. After i run in 4-lo for a little while, which also means i'm up and down on the skinny pedal, i find if i shut off my 2000 XJ, and restart it a few minutes later i get a rediculous idle, and a sound coming from the engine that reminds me of a go-kart. Huge loss in power, almost like i'm running on two cylinders, and a deathly rumbling coming from the engine.
After moving for a few seconds (generally 30 sec - 2 mins) it's gone! the idle is back to normal, my power is back, and i'm blessed with a "check engine".
Replaced the tps not too long ago, and the last time i had the code read Autozone said it was "cylinder misfire #3". Ideas?
Notes:
1) it will only happen after i run hard in 4x4 (whether lo or hi), and shut the engine off and restart it.
2) The idle jumps up and down as if it was going to stall on the next drop
3) this hasn't caused me to stall yet. will it?
