98 stock 4.0 XJ

Hi

I've been having a low idle issue where it would stall out whilst slowing down and making a turn and the extra load from the power steering would be enough for the engine to stall !!!!

Now i have an erratic start issue, usually it will start normally but now for the second time in a few days the engine will turn over but will not start until i put in some throttle where it will start and run but as soon as i take my foot of the throttle the engine will immediately die.

This happens 6 or 7 times before the engine will start and run normally.

Desperate for any help, i've tried the LCD trick etc and it's not showing any fault codes.

Regards

maybe time to check the ais (idle speed) motor, you can clean this, if that doesn't help maybe replace

i had a similar problem, and took it to the shop. they changed out an old throttle body gasket where there was a leak and now she runs better. behaves most of the time on idle waiting for a light but when she gets angry i just shift it into nuetral until i need to go, but she dont stall on turns anymore. idk if you might have the same problem but i hope this helps.
