Hello, I just purchased the 85 xjs with really low milage (20K) - I'm experiencing a cold start problem, in the morning the car warms nice up but when i place in drive it will bearly go for a few blocks 4-6 - as I pump the accelerator the car starts to react but is hardly driving. Then it wakes up, drives and ultimately performs very well after driving 2 miles. The strange thing is then I park the car for work where it's usually hot - when I start it 8 hours later, and the weather is warm, the car starts right up and immediately performs and basically runs like a new car.
It seems either the cold morning has to be it becuase I don't start it again for 8 hours while at work and it runs great.
I replaced the Throttle Position Sensor and an Idle up control valve attempting to solve - My mechanic is stumped and thinks it has something to do with the ECM or possible bad wiring -We've checked just about everything easy to check. does anyone have thoughts to give me a hand in solving?
