I have a 00' XJ with around 175000 miles. My alternator died out the other day while I was driving and I ran off battery power to get off the highway and into the relative safety of a grocery store parking lot. I replaced the alternator, but now have a new problem that has left me scratching my head. Once the jeep warms up my engine starts to idle very slowly, starting off around 5-600 rpms and getting down to, well, as low as it can get before the engine will die-I hit the gas but it goes right back to the same place. Also-while driving after this occurs the acceleration feels off, almost like the engine isn't firing correctly. Once I get over 30 or 40 mph there doesn't seem to be a problem though. Any advice on the my issue may be or how to fix it?
