A little background...
99 XJ
201,000 KM (124,000 Mi) approx.
AW4
NO engine modifications
Plugs were changed about 5000 KM ago
Fuel pump changed about 10,000KM ago
She runs fine until it gets up to operating temp, and then she kicks sputters and dies (mostly going up hill). It'll fire up right away but dies shortly afterwards. If I let it sit for a while (5-10 mins) it'll start and drive fine for about 5-10 mins then dies out again. At idle, it's good but when I start driving it'll die.
Volts are at a constant 13.5-14
Oil pressure at the 3 on the gauge
Temp is dead smack in the middle where it should be
No abnormal smoke coming from exhaust, but it does smell like rotten egg when it's acting up and running rough.
CKP was changed today with no difference to how it runs
I was thinking bad gas, until I went to the last station of fill up and they said I was the first to report any issues.
Any ideas?
I did a search, but everything that I found came back as "bad CPS" sensor and as I already changed it, it's ruled out
