Need advice
Okay history of my 2001 XJ8, it has 83,000 miles on the body and 30,000 miles on the engine(new engine put in at 53,000 miles by old owner after garage forgot to put oil in after service).
1st problem:could not fill gas tank,had to put in $5.00 at a time.The gas tank was the issue,put a used gas tank in solved the problem.
Current problems: I was stopped at an intersection and the car would not go drive in D gear.It would only go in reverse. Had the car towed to my house. That was 2 weeks ago, I tried the car yesterday drove it around my block and it drove fine. I do get the error response track not available and ASC not available. It starts off sluggish almost like it's not getting any gas and then it drives fine.
If anyone has experienced similar problems and can advise me thanks....

I haven't had problems you are having, but I read that the trans is electronic controled and if you have some metal shavings in the fluid they will stick to the solonoids that control the shifting then when you turn off the car they drop back into the pan and the car drives fine for a while. have your fluid checked the poor acceleration may be the converter giving up...

Lets try the easy one first:
Look at the TSB motorcarman posted in post #13 here:

For the sluggish start-off, any number of problems might cause it. You can check archives for restricted performance issues, and many will offer advice, but you can spend lots of money on parts wighout fixing it using the stab in the dark approach. I recommend you get the codes for the transmission and engine read before you throw parts at it.
