2000XJ keeps bogging down & dying on me. Only seems to happen once it has warmed-up.. driven for 15 mins or so. Every time it gets to that point, cuts out and dies on me. After it sits for a while.. half hour, whatever, it'll start up again, and drive normal before the same thing happens.
I've already replaced the fuel pump and TPS.. What else could it be?
Could a weakened ground cause something like this?
I'm running out of ideas here. :/

Anyone have a quick summary of how to use the transfer case selector? Tried out my 4WD today in the light snow. My 4WD definitely works, b/c I felt the rattle when backing out of a space (full wheel lock), and could feel a little rattling when making turns.
But, I was able to get it into 4H pretty easily. I think I just let off the gas and coasted while I switched it. But I had trouble getting it from N into 4L. I also had trouble getting it from 4L into 4L. It was resisting and grinding like when you try to downshift when still going too fast for that lower gear. I think I tried while rolling and at a stop. I think I moved the tranny selector into N and then was able to move the transfer case from 4L to 4H and 2H.
In general, do you need to put tranny in N before messing with the 4WD selector?
