What make, model and age? More likely to get specific advice. Hate the the generic term 'jeep' especially if applied to a Land Rover!! :mad::)

Modern electronically controlled engines with fly by wire throttles can have a switch on the clutch pedal to stop engine flare when you depress the clutch, it could just be that gone or a loose wire.

If it's an older engine with a cable throttle, that could be worn or sticky.

Either way it's unlikely to be the clutch itself.

Bizzarely a mate of mine is having this issue on his 06 landcruiser 150. From reading around some forums it seems it could be the fuel pump.
