so i hadn't started my 2000 xj in 3 days prior to today, started up just like normal around noon, drove it about 12 miles on the freeway to my girlfriends house and let it sit there for about 6-7 hours. when i went out to start it it cranked and seemed to misfire so i stopped for a second, went to crank it again and it sounded as if there was no spark, as if doing a compression test, and the CEL came while doing so, it started to fire after about 3 or 4 seconds and hesitate for another 1 or 2, CEL went off revved it a few times and seemed perfectly normal, drove it home 12 miles again and it performed just as it always has. im not too worried about it, should i be? never heard of this before
