Question about Wrangler acting like its barely getting gas.
 

I first had this problem occur about 2 years ago. My mechanic performed
a full brake and tune up to get the problem to go away. I only have
this problem when my Jeep is cold. I start the vehicle, and put it in
drive. The accelleration is slow, as I start moving forward the Jeep
starts lurching. Sometimes the Jeep doesn't start lurching until I take
my foot off the accellerator like I am going to stop. When the
automatic transmission shifts into a lower gear it starts lurching and
almost dies from a lack of gas. If I let the car warm up for 5 minutes
or so - I don't have this problem. In the past though the lurching
happens more frequently. Does any one have any ideas about what could
be causing this issue? Is this a power inverter? Or a transmission
issue? I have never had a problem like this before. I have 120,000
miles with very few problems.

I want to thank all replies in advance.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Could be the lockup torque converter. When was the last time you performed
a transmission fluid change and adjustments?
