I was on my way home from work when my xj decided to start hesitating above 65 and i thought it cut out so i pulled over and put it in park and it was still running so i put it in drive and took off got it back up to 65 and it did stumble a bit till i let off the pedal and it was normal so it drives fine at low speeds so im thinking its my tps ill bet testing it tomorrow after work any idea's? ? And no cel on at all

TPS or fuel pressure, fuel pump could be getting tired. When was the last time you did the fuel filter?
