XJ stumble, check engine light
 

This is the second time this has happened, otherwise the Jeep runs
great. Once at about 15k miles and this time at about 50k miles, upon
cold starting, the engine stumbles (of course no gas pedal), runs really
rough for about 20-30 seconds, then planes out. This triggers the CHECK
ENGINE light. The vehicle runs fine after that, but the light stays on.
The first time, the dealer reset the light during a visit for a brake
rotor issue, but found no problems. Gas cap OK, both times. Suggestions?

I haven't had the error checked this time for a code, but the problem is
exactly like last time. I'm pretty sure the code was P0300 last time.

Well.... it would be best to know what the code is this time even though the
symptons are similar.
