This problem is odd ....
Jeep started fine this morning, drove it for over 1 1/2 hours non stop. ( Bel Air to airport and back )
Drove to the shop to talk to a tech, we shut it down and it started and ran fine.
Drove 1.7 miles to my house, parked and shut it down.
Waited two minute to restart and it was lethargic in cranking, when it did start after a bit of sluggish cranking it was idling rough.
Drove it 1.7 miles back to the shop and the idle was fine.
Tomorrow the plan is to remove, clean, and reinstall all cable ends. Make sure everything is tightened up just right.
I do have a spare new starter in the shop and may just toss that in. After all it will be disconnected for the cleaning, might as well pull the two bolts and throw it in.

Heat soak? A rough idle is not caused by a starter. BUT...premature combustion will.
