sound like you have low fuel pressure

If the problem comes and go erratically, and can come back when you hit a bump, that is probably a contact.
A bad contact to one of the sensors (eg.O2 sensor, or TPS if it is only when in gear) can cause the engine running rough.

The way to find out is scanning the ECU (main control module).

this cannot be done with a standard scanner because this car is not OBD2 compliant.

I heard that Memoscan U581 can be used on older XJ series models, this info must be verified asking manufacturer.

The alternative is using an Elm327 adapter to connect to a laptop with AutoEnginuity software, or aving the computer module scanned at an authorized garage.

Once the scanner returns the codes, their meaning can be checked online posting here the code.

Sounds like a coil or ignition lead if it's got leads braking down under load

You have to take the door panel off and there is a small about 6" linkage that has popped out of the inner door handle, I put a zip tie around the rod and the frame to hold it in

I would change the air filter, the valve and possibly the oil cap. Also, change your oil filter, it may be clogged. Keep an eye on it just to be sure there isn't anything more serious.

You've got a broken or disconnected wire somewhere. Get a multimeter & check you have voltage on both sides of the fuse. If that's good you know you've got juice running out to the tail light. Remove the bulb & check for voltage in the socket. Chances are you have 20 years of corrosion behind the socket & it's dirty. Either way, you problem is a disconnected or corroded wire.

I think you have answered your own question, replace the relay.

this is normal ,dont rev engine and wait for idle ,select first then pull to neutral and put in reverse if it wont go in let clutch up a bit and as the stick starts to move push clutch down again

the strut/spring is one assembly that comes out as one unit.

check the coil resistance ,also check coil wire, make sure that with key on that the posative side of the coil does have 12 volts. if power is there probably coil if no power at coil check ign fuse and possibly the ignition switch not feeding power out

in most cases it makes it much easier to perform with the car running, if is even easier if you can rent a power bleeder..

If front & rear are discs like mine, the haynes manual is good. Either that or the workshop manual ...

This is internal gear separation. this can happen when the transmission is either old or, hasn't been serviced in a while. the gear ratio can become unstable during long term driving and, if not serviced properly, it will fail. this type of high efficiency trany can be quite fragile considering the age of this motor vehicle. i suspect many seal issues as well. i would rebuild as soon as possible.

first, make shure that the water level in the radiator is apropriate, then ck the thermostat for oppening and closing(you wont have a heater if the thermostat is constantely open) ck the 2hoses that suply hot water to the heater core, both hoses must be hot when engine is runing .if one off the hose is cold ,the hot water is not circulating to the core and back to engine .ck the valve , see if you can by pass it and see the results if you have heater , replace the valve. nicolas

That means the base of the window is about halfway down. unbolt it from the from the regulator track. If this was helpful. Please call it such. Can help more in live chat

Hi

I take it you mean the 2 large round bush rubbers, at front of the sub-frame with the large bolt through the center ?

Usually if they are shot, you can see the splitting in them, if they look OK, I do not think this is your problem

What about the 2 Top front cross member mountings, they have a habit of splitting away from the bonding, and this can give strange jerking problems.

Jack up the car on the cross member, and support the body on the 2 front jacking points, better to remove the wheels, and lower the jack a little, and you should be able to see any problem with them straight away, and see even better if you lever with a large screwdriver.

I hope this is of help.

Good Luck

John.
