I was wondering if i am dealing with a straight fuel pump problem...
here are the symptoms:
when i try to start it in the morning, it seems like it is about to stall, unless i give it a little gas while simultaneously starting it.
if i turn the key from 'off' to 'on' 3 times (which seems to 'prime?' the pump), it works perfectly with no stalling at all. i can hear the pump come on every time i turn the key to 'on'.
Does this sound like the pump or some other problem? Could this be a battery starting to go? (i have heard batteries will do strange things when they start to die out)
XJ is a 95 with no engine mods, 96,000 miles, and the fuel filter was changed last summer.
