Clutch was really agressive right off - new? or maybe just from sitting? it evened out by the time I got lunch.

there was also a couple drips on the floor by the ebrake pedal, little rain water leak somewhere.

window seals on old XJ's notorious for leaking...
might need to address that at some point after body work..

clutch was new when new motor went in 25K ago..
prob form sitting..

idle still bad?

once it's warm it just idles rough. Cold it purrrrrrs, and it drives fine.

may even be idle speed, or it could be mixture (O2 sensors, TPS, IAC), or dirtyness (injectors, plugs, etc - but at 25k that all should be fine)

I unplugged the O2. See if it changes anything. Wires on the O2 make it look brandy new, doesn't mean it's good or right though.
