Started the XJ today, after it been sitting nose-down on the drive way for 7 weeks while I was overseas (remember the nose-up or nose-down question?).

Anyway, thought my batt was on the way out and not able to hold a charge, but surprisingly it still read 12.46 when I hooked it back up after all that time. Primed the fuel line 2-3 times and turned the key. It gave one deep slow crank, like you have when your batt is too low, made a sound like a drill getting stuck, half second of silence and...fired up! Like I'd woken some beast from hibernation haha.
Back in business!

Stop calling your car a "she". It's a car.
