Default Help needed! Stranded XJ with horrible idle/miss
Hey guys,
I have a 2001 XJ with the 4.0 petrol and as I was driving felt a big miss. The car now struggles to get up to speed but will every now and then clean up if I give it a boot. It struggles to hold idle if in gear but as soon as the load is off it in park or neutral it will idle OK again.
Driving at a constant speed it hard too with it surging or missing really badly.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am on holidays with the family and am a fair distance from home with the jeep as our only means of transportation!
