Re: XJ stumble, check engine light
Yes, it would. I don't have a reader, so I'm looking to try a few common
things prior to paying for a service visit.

Re: XJ stumble, check engine light
> Gas cap OK, both times. Suggestions?
May I venture a guess? I've seen this before and the cause is pretty
obscure, even to seasoned mechanics.
I am assuming you have the 4.0 with hydraulic lifters.
Sometimes, rarely, a stuck oil pressure relief valve piston will cause
the valves to hang upon when the engine is started cold, creating a
loss of compression, which triggers the MIL. Usually, the valve will
settle back into its normal position and all symptoms dissappear.
Sometimes for a long time, sometimes for a day.
Usually, you will get a bunch of codes aside from 300 pointing to
individual cylinders that are misfiring along with the 300, sometimes
not, depending on how the PCM was programmed.
If this is only happening when the engine is cold, this would be my
best guess. You could hook up a known-good oil pressure guage to
verify this. Other symtoms of this include oil filter expansion, oil
leakage, stalling on initial startup and hard restarting.
You will have to consult with your mechanic about a remedy; I can't
help you there.

Re: XJ stumble, check engine light
The procedure is outlined here or if you stop by almost any auto-parts store
they will lend you a lend you a reader at no charge or they may read it for
you if they are not busy.
http://www.ptcruizer.com/computer-codes.html
If you send me an e-address I'll forward the appropriate FSM data to you.
