Hello I'm a new user here, just bought a white 1996 XJ with around 130k miles a couple days ago. First XJ!
I am however having a heat soak issue (I think).
I've been scouring the threads and a lot of people with this problem seem to have a rough idle or sputtering. Mine is a bit different. It has only happened twice so far, but it will basically just shut off when pulling into a parking spot (I guess I've just been lucky that it hasn't happened at a stop light).
It doesn't really "stall," just shuts off. No crazy noises or anything like that. Then, it won't start for about 1.5-2hrs when it fully cools down.
My current plan is to wrap the fuel injectors and surrounding area with heat shield tape to see if that helps.
Basically just looking for advice. FYI I do have CE codes for a downstream 02 sensor as well as P1899 which apparently is "manufacturer control; transmission," but I don't believe the P1899 to be related to this heat soak issue (although I could definitely be wrong).
