Rough idle and Delayed throttle

[Scooter2]

Hi All,
For the past couple months I felt like the jeep would lose power/gas for a brief second, but then thought it was my imagination. Slightly rough idle but not terrible at all.
This AM the throttle response is off by a half second and there is a "clunk' type of noise between stepping in the throttle and the rpms moving.
No warning lights and no codes. Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

A few weeks ago, I noticed the same, but worse now. The clunk before moving is my transmission falling out of gear, then a hard clunk getting back in gear. Happens Fwd and Rwr.

Now have more issues beyond rough idle.
Dash warnings intermittently sound and flash.
Mostly ABS service, Stability Control service.
But power steering has also intermittently failed for couple of seconds, then back on.

Maybe rough idle, the engine RPMS dropping is root cause? Does the "brain" interpret too low RPMS as engine stop and cause the other issues?
