Mine does the same thing, just doesn't seem to be idling smoothly, doesn't do it all the time either.

Not sure if there is a problem or this is normal

I have the same problem on my 2DR JK. I also have noticed the RPMs falling slowly when I take my foot of the gas (this kind of sucks with a stick)

i noticed the same thing yesterday. it was 80 degrees outsite. Felt like it was stumbling. I also noticed that ther is aflat sopt in teh power band at real low rpm. In the 12-1500 RPM range. Maybe its only at a certain throttle position I havent done enough testing to get a solid diagnosis

I have the same issue. I've changed fuel sources to no avail. Please advise if anyone has a solution. I developed the rough idle at 3,000 miles.

I have the same issue and it happens at random. I know what the dealership will say if it is not consistant. We can't duplicate the problem.............
