Have you checked your ignition wires yet?

It sounds like you may be having a simple sensor issue.. test before replacing.

vapor lock. winter fuels are very volatile. try insulating your fuel lines that are close to the engine/exhaust

Search this forum, JF, NAXJA, etc. for "HEAT SOAK". You'll find lots of threads on this.

It is quite common on the 00-01 XJ.
