Today I got in the XJ after it sat since tuesday morning, drove to lunch about 2 miles away. Got back in after lunch, started it, and drove it to the "driveway" where I was gonna make a right onto the main road. It started to sputter and cough, so I threw it in neutral, and revved it up, but nothing happened. The rpms kept bouncing between 0 and the first line.
Eventually it shut off (with my foot to the floor). I cranked it over, and it kept sputtering and sputtering (with the starter engaged) Within seconds my battery was drained, (yes I know I need a new battery)
I got a jump and its like nothing happened.
It ran fine.
I ran my tank almost dry on accident monday morning, sputtering the engine, but got to the pump fine. And it ran fine all monday and tuesday morning. Would sediment in the tank do that to my engine? But take 2 days to do that? I thought it would be instant. And why was my throttle useless when i tried to give it rpms??
Also I will be getting a battery since after 10 seconds of cranking, completely kills it...
Any insight is great.
