[color=darkred][/color] :roll: I have a XJ6. When I start the engine the car runs rough. Sometimes after a while it seems to work itself out and runs fine and othe times it won't stay started at all. Could the catalytic-converter cause this? Any other suggestions as to what I should check for?

Thank you

Suggested Repair

Have the engine computer scanned for trouble codes, then check the air filter, fuel filter, and oxygen sensor before guessing at the catalytic converter.
