SO this problem has only begun in the last week or so. It hasnt been to any shops, done any wheeling, or had any engine work done.
When I start the XJ after it has sat overnight, or over a long enough period of time for the engine to cool off, it has an idle problem.
It turns over quickly, just like usual, but dies instantly, or almost instantly. if I tap the gas, the idle will dip to almost dead, and then go to normal, but a little rough. It will warm up just fine, and wont die again, but if I give it gas going in reverse, it will lag, and the same for trying to go forward, but I let off the gas, and press again, it will be just fine. Any other starts when the engine is warm are just fine.
This is a 1995, 4L, 231, AW4.
Can someone please give me a list of things to start checking as plugs, rotor/cap, wires are all good. I am going on my honeymoon on Sunday, and need the XJ working perfect as we will be taking it all over CO. Thanks for the help!
