Re: '88 XJ won't start
 

While your hands are dirty clean the ground strap that runs from the back of
the head to the firewall. The CPS is your most likely culprit.

Re: '88 XJ won't start
 

Besides the ground strap going ratty, the connection on the TPS can just
need a clean too. When it goes bad I get no starts and strange revs
when it does start. When the CPS quits it usually causes stalls.
