XJ 4.0 loses power on left turns
96 XJ 4.0 AT loses power when you make hard left turns. The seller was
*very* upfront w/this detail long before I did a test-drive. What do you all think? Shamus |

Sorry, engine loses power. You gotta give it a little more pedal and almost
feather it to get any ooomph.

Re: XJ 4.0 loses power on left turns
OK, obviously it is fuel injected, so that rules out float levels, lol. It
could be something that is causing the fuel supply to stop, or something that is losing electrical contact due to a lose wire, bad ground, etc. I would check for any lose connections. My gut feeling though is that it might be a fuel issue. The fuel pickup in the tank may not be "right" and may be sucking air when you make a left turn. You could probably test this by jacking the left side of the vehicle up as high as possible (safely of course) and see if it does the same thing.
