Running Problems
My 2000 XJ just started to have erractic idle and randomly will cut-off. I've replaced Idle air control vavle, battery, spark plugs, air-filter (not that it would really matter, just sayin though) and cleaned my throttle body (which helped)
but the problem still hasn't gone away, thinkin maybe the coil rail? any ideas?

You should try to get a manual Factory Service Man. is best, or Chiltons, in pinch Haynes will work. This will have the troubleshooting guides that will let you to systematicly work your way to a solution effeciently.
You said you you replaced the battery, was any attention given to the connections? There are 3 grounds in the engine bay, the one that goes from the the head to the firewall (braided wire) is well known for corrosion. This should be done (electrical connection inspection/Replacement) after having it scanned for codes but before any further steps are taken. post any codes found.

I did check all my grounds and cleaned everything up.
I haven't checked for codes though, I have my own Matco scan tool that I use at work so i'll do that later today.
I noticed if I would stab the gas (press it to the floor and completly let-off) then when the RPMs would drop it would just shut-off like someone turned the key.
