Which brings me to a question. What sensors and spares do you think it would be wise to carry with you on a XJ?

I have not tried, but if i can lay face down on the engine, reach my hand down, and touch the sensor bolts, its all over
been down this road before on other jobs, saved hours, guys with forearms like Popeye have to do it the slow way
Alex, I bought out a hardcore XJ off-road guys spares.
Fuel pump, new dizzy, TPS, starter motor, he had other stuff to.
I am lucky in having a complete running spare '96, just 59 digits off mine in VIN, so long as I am in my driveway, diagnosis should be much easier.
I also ordered a $8 Chinese CPS
A spare throttle body with sensors would be handy
A known working PCM also seems like an essential spare for these cars, as eventually it will probably fault, possibly leaving you badly stranded, instead of a quick fix
