i have a 97 xj 4.0l automatic... she was sitting for a few weeks and when i started her up and she started i let it run for a few minutes took a drive then got home shut it off. when i came back out about a half hour later the xj was completely dead i tried to jump start it and would only crank so took out the battery had it tested they said it was fully charged. i put it back in and the xj started right up first turn of the key. the next day started up just fine drove it for a couple hours then stopped and again about 30minutes later tried to start and again completely dead. i took the alternator out thinking that was the problem but when the auto store tested it compared to the new ones on the shelf it passed 8 times in a row and never failed once... does anybody have any suggestions because im stuck my starter, alternator and battery are properly working but for some reason the xj likes to turn off randomly. it has also done this twice while driving and then i would stop and the xj would shut off when i stopped. please any suggestions would help me i need to get it running by this weekend. has anybody had any of these problems and know what is possibly going on? thankyou for your time.
