Default Ecu Failure when at running temp.

After a ridiculous amount of troubleshooting, replacing parts, and countless troubled days I've come to the conclussion that my idle issues and engine stalls at normal operating temperature are happening due to a faulty ECU
I HAVE A 96'JAGUAR VANDEN PLAS 4.0

It runs insanely smooth and nice when you first start it up and for the first 20 mins of driving. After that it stalls out. Ive done the fuel pump replacement and tank cleaning and fuel filter. Ive replaced my IACV , Cam sensor , 4x O2 sensors,Egr valve , all my vacuum lines, cleaned my throttle body ,coils and plugs ect.

STILL RUNNING GOOD AT START UP AND BAD AFTER WARMING UP. HELP!

Welcome to the Forums.

The XJ6 (X300) TechSection will have answers.

BUT

My 3,2ltr X300 did similar, and being accustomed to my V12 cars also going hissy when warmed up, I replaced the CTS (Coolant Temp Sensor), as in the one with 2 wires for the ECU, and problem solved.

Good luck.

So this morning I took your advice, said to HLL with it, threw in a new CTS and nothing changed . I also found the ECU I was looking for and ordered it yesterday as well. Im having some real frustrated days with this.ibe checked everything to my knowledge, worst part is im not getting codes or anything. Just the Transmission Mil Fault code when it stalls.
This CAR RUNS AMAZING BEFORE IT WARMS UP. This is so frustrating! Any other ideas?

I recommend you take the question to X300 forum. Many members read the Intro's and several reply but few then return to read them again.
