Hey,

Name is Mick, you can call me Meta. Just purchased a 1982 XJS HE Here in Kansas City, Missouri. Picked it up pretty cheap due to an issue it was havin. Needless to say, when I saw it online for sale, I fell in love with her. Only problem so far that I have found is that she starts and has a rough idle and wants to die all the time. Sometimes she will idle for a little while. I did notice that the drivers side air intake box has a strong suction and the passenger side can barely hold a piece of paper over the intake hole and can hear what sounds to be an exhaust leak under the passenger floorboard. The car sat for a couple of years and the gas tank was removed and cleaned out with a new fuel pump added. The previous owner said he had a guy do a tune up a year ago but the rough idle almost sound like they messed up the firing order. That and the passenger side air intake havin hardly any air movement is where I am at now. Anyway, I have my babeh and here to join the Jags club lol. Any insight would be appreciated. See ya around the forums.

 

I also seem to have something missing on the top of the engine. There are 2 blue connectors towards the front of the distributer. One sip-tied on each fuel rail. No idea what they are for.
