So I went to the dunes for Halloween weekend, and destroyed alot of stuff on the xj - not due to bad dune manuevering, but lots of speed/flooring and a radiator that cracked. Front driveshaft put a hole in the exhuast right before the 1st O2 sensor (getting that welded up this weekend) from a real hard bottoming out, radiator is need of replacement (hopefully happening this weekend), bent lca mount (replaced already), and it seems to idle low or even die (gotta hold the pedal down for a minute and then it seems to hold idle fine at around 650rpm) but after driving for a while, it will idle higher at around 1000rpm in Park and Nuetral.
so im trying to figure out what has happened to cause this; i swapped in my spare IAC and TPS and no luck. i checked all the vacuum lines that are accessible easily under the hood and didnt see anything...
as for the radiator and exhuast problems, the reason i've put repairing these things off is that my mobility is limited at the moment due to me dislocating my knee cap and being on crutches since that weekend as it happened on the last day of the trip where everything got destroyed - jeep/knee.... wonderful.
so besides swapping those sensors, im not sure what to check next. Has anyone had similar symptoms? i know its dumping fuel due to the exhuast leak right before the O2 sensor, but i dont think that would effect the idle a whole lot on startup.
