Check out my Ride(s)
Default

OK, I changed out the crank sensor switch, and it was not that hard to change. But guess what? My XJ now stutters around 2000rpm, stutters around 3000rpm, and still stutters just past 4000rpm. But where it has gotten really worse whilst driving in Drive, it feels like it is kicking back a gear while I am doing about 80 k's/50 miles. It still starts up the same, idle is the same.

As much as I have other parts coming this week and the next few weeks as well, its really got me stuffed, I was open to the fact replacing the crank sensor switch might not fix it, but why did the whole stuttering thing get worse is beyond me!

Help guys! Anyone?
