For a year now I have been fighting problems with my 96 XJ. Last september it started cutting out, when I couldnt get it to run, I paid someone top dollar to scan it and tell me that my brand new CPS was bad. Another new CPS and it ran for a week. Then issues came back.
Sat for 5 months finally put a new distributor in it and it ran for about 1000 miles before it wore the dist gear down to nothing and threw it out of time. Turned out the cam was damaged.
I got a used motor that was in good running condition and put that in, and now im having problems with a misfire that comes and goes. Sometimes it runs great, then out of nowhere it wont go over 2000rpms or maintain 15mph on the road all the while its popping and sputtering and backfiring out the throttle body.
I've been throwing every dime I can at this thing and its getting me nowhere, I really need someone with a DRB scanner that can help me diagnose the problem that doesnt want $120/hr for diagnostic testing.
