Hi from tropical Malaysia
I "inherited" my XJS from a fellow expat who got shipped out for a reasonable fee and it ran sweet (other than battery problems) for a good while.
But I then encountered intermittent power outs/almost dies, not from cold (though its never that cold here), which my mechanic attributed to the MAF. I sourced a recond one and got that shipped here, fitted it myself, and again all seemed ok until I sent it in for service recently and the mechanic said I had a MAF problem still.
Symptoms now are similar to before but I don't seem to get the power drops, its more of when tis run (and it runs smoothly) and I stop, say to fuel up, it won't restart - leave it for ~30mins and it starts on 2nd attempt.
Tried searching and whilst there are similar issues they seem more for XJ6 than the XJS. Any diagnostics I can do before I go and get another MAF, which I'm not so sure anymore is the issue.
thanks!

Tigre,
You need a minimum period of membership and number of posts to be able to send PM's.
For obvious reasons we don't disclose exactly what the numbers are but I think I can safely say you'll be OK next week.
To send a PM, click on the member's forum name at the top left and then on Send a private message to .....
