My xj wont shift out of first gear and stalls if you don't press on the gas. It's a i6 automatic 4x4. It did get stuck in some water 2 days ago.

Still nothing. I test the fuel rail and it sprays like crazy. All relays click and fuel pump primes. I did the key trick and it said "done", thats it, just done. Should i just set it out by the curb and let the garbage man have it? Lol

I really dont wanna replace the fuel pump tonight....

Anyone have any suggestions...customizer, dukie, you guys out there?

mmm sounds like a crank sensor problem or ignition system problem. Check for spark.

Do you have spark at the plugs? Also check the plugs so see if they are any good.

I have a jvc head unit and it keeps saying "miswiring check wiring then reset head unit".... WELL, apparently i'm supposed to check the speaker terminals, but everything is wired correctly... It happened earlier and I fixed it just by detaching the aftermarket wiring harness and reattaching it, but this time it won't work. Any ideas? PLease HeLp!!!
