Hi Guys,
My 1996 4.0 MT (178K) has developed a starting problem. I went out this evening to hook up my trailer to the XJ and the XJ didn't want to fire. The first few times, I just got a clickin sound and thought the battery was gone. then she started to turn over, but wouldn't fire. If I hit the gas she'll fire up, but stall out as soon as I let off the pedal.
After about 20 seconds of running, I got her to hold and idle fine. Turned off and started back up no problem. However the Check engine light stays on and a decient ammount of black crap came out the tail-pipe. I did the quick on/off CEL code check and got I think 22 (coolant sensor?) and 55. The Lighte went= I-(long pause)-II-II-IIIII-IIIII-IIIIII. After the sixth and final flash, the light went solid. this happened this evening, and with no warning. Checked the oil, and it looks good, cooland looks OK, not sure if I am reading the codes properly. Tried searching and found mostly overheating issues with code 22.
Thanks for any Help,
I'm supposed to pick up an old BSA tomorrow and hope to be able to before it's gone.
