Hi, I just bought my first XJ. 97, 4.0, Auto, 2wd. I love it, most of the time. But, it stalls out while driving down the road.

Everything seems fine, it runs great, good power. Sometimes the transmission searches, I plan to clean all of my grounds which should fix that and which will likely eliminate P0700 and P1898. I’m also getting a P1489 code, which I don’t know what may be causing it...

My main concern however, is the random stalling out. I can be driving along when the CEL comes on, and sometime soon thereafter (5 milesish) the engine stalls out. After stalling out the engine will stumble like its trying to start and then just turn over with no spark coming from the main coil wire. I have plugged in a new coil with no improvement. I have disconnected the battery for 15 minutes after which time the engine restarts and runs great again, CEL goes away.

The codes mentioned above are present.

Any advice?
