I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Larado, 4 speed automatic, with a I6 4.0 engine.
It starts fine, runs great at speed. But when I come to a stop with the engine on it has a very unstedy idle. It feels like its missing, but the lurches it makes are come pleatly random.
It can do it 20 times in arrow befor retuning to a nomal idle or once. My Question to you is, Do you know whats causing this fault, and is it fixable?

Check idle air control valve and check for vacuum leaks.

Clean the idle air control valve and EGR valve and test the TPS closed and WOT voltages
