Hey guys I have a 97/98 post update XJ.
I will go and start it first thing in the morning and it usually starts good and runs fine all the way to work (approx 5kms) Then when I go out on my lunch break (about 4 hours later) it seems to crank a lot longer than normal, and finally coughs and splutters to life when i tap the accelerater a few times. When i go out to start it after work (approx 4 hours again) it usually starts fine.
This morning though it felt like it was running on 5 cylinders as soon as I started it but after a minute of so of driving it came good and felt normal again.
In the past 12 months I have changed spark plugs (champion), Leads (Top Gun), commodore injectors, and air filter (ryco). I have a couple new o2 sensers here that I am about to put in, but just wondering if anyone has any ideas about the weird start issue?
I have run a scan for codes and only got one for the fuel guage sensor, Its always read empty after it gets below half a tank.
