OK 1989 XJ I6 5SP Manual 205,000miles.
Starts with on issues - but if I drive it for an hour or so all of a sudden it's like I'm running with one cylinder and the other 5 are dead, massive loss of power with no acceleration, followed by complete death and no start.
It cranks and cranks and cranks but no start.
If I let it sit for 5 or more hours it will start and run again.
I notice when I start and run it the voltage gauge is at 14V
When it does not start (when dead) the gauge is less than 9.
I think it's a sensor issue but don't know which sensor(s) to start looking at.
EDIT:
I should add less than 6 Mo ago I replaced the plugs, plug wires, dist cap, rotor (inside dist cap), all vacuum lines, battery, battery cables, clutch, clutch master cyl, clutch slave cyl, fly wheel, radiator.
All were new parts not from the junk yard.
