today i tried starting my 99 auto. xj and it wouldnt start so i charged the battery and it still would not turn over. This was not a problem with the starter though. i tried giving it gas while starting it and it starts right up but right when i take my foot off the gass it shuts right off. i was wondering if this could be the idle control switch and where it is located and how to check it? thanks any help is appreciated.

could be a number of things. the distributor
sync sensor in the distributor
CPS
do you have a check engine light?
by idle control do you mean the IAC? idle air control?
thats in the upper right of the bay, ill see if i can get more specific for you later if you need it

Cant be the sync or the CPS if it has proper spark. Sounds like you need to change your fuel filter. Does it have a CEL like Will asked?
