Re: 88 XJ won't start
Well the CPS seems to be the problem because I disconnected it and
reconnected to a couple of times and it started. The time is now it
keeps holding a very high idle like 2500 rpms and won't kick down does
anybody have any ideas. And thank you very much everyone for the help!!!

Double check the tb butterfly is closed
and that the connector on the idle air motor is
connected. If there is any crud built up on the
throttle body then clean it. Especially the idle
air passage.
Could be it has lost the throttle position settings.
Turn the ignition to on (not start)
get under the hood and move the throttle plate
from full closed to full open, hold it open
for a few seconds then slowly return it to full
closed. (do this about three times)
then get in and turn the key off. Then start
the engine.

You forgot the part about walking one complete circle around the vehicle, then
spit three times before trying to start it.
