Hi Naxja,
I'm having an intermittent power loss issue with my xj that has gotten pretty bad this past few days, it feels like it's stalling, can be quite jerky, like it's fighting for fuel, air, or something. I suspect it's electrical as the issue is intermittent, but there's a number of issues it could be. I'm wanting to test if it's a sensor issue before moving on to other possibilities.
I'm not a mechanic by any modicum of imagination's stretch, but is there any reason why I couldn't unplug one sensor at a time to see if the power loss issue goes away? Would this help pinpoint a particular bad sensor causing my problem? For example, could I unplug my TPS and drive it to test? If so, which sensors could I do this to and still have it drive, and is there any sensor I couldn't do this with? I realise removing a sensor will cause the engine to maybe run rich/funny, but my thinking was if the power loss goes away, maybe that's a culprit.
Thank you advance for the help.
