Major Major Problem right before I wanted to sell!
As the title says, I was just about to sell my 2004 XJ8 with 166000 miles and the dreaded "faults galore" issue occured. I have window wipers that are going on, on their own. Engine systems fault, abs fault, dsc not available, and the car will randomly shut off after driving for a bit. Vry scary stuff. That said, after doing some reading I went ahead and bought a used throttle position sensor. I changed it out and cleaned the throttle body as well. Unfortunately the problem persists. I thought maybe the used sensor was defective as well so I ordered a new aftermarket sensor and now the cars idle is more erratic and the problem persists! Please help!

Check the charging system (alternator) output. I just had weird things going on also as you have, including the cooling fans running with the engine cold and 16f outdoor temps. put new battery in, no change. Checked charging system, voltage was good then bad, then good (intermittent). Changed alt, and all went away and is good to go.

Also known as "Ground"
The Brits just complete the thought. In the US, we say ground, which is to say a return to a direct physical connection to the Earth.
