Is your key black or gray? Gray key has the chip in it. The skim antenna is mounted around the ignition cylinder. You can't see it unless you pull it apart and there's not a separate module for it anywhere. It's programmed in the pcm. I think all the gauge clusters have a skim light after 98, but not all had the system. It's really tough to diagnose without factory manuals and obd2 troubleshooting.

The shop is stuck on the idea that it needs the skim module and says there is nothing more they can do. Since I’m convinced this vehicle has never had a skim I’m wanting to replace the PCM. Any suggestions on best place to get one? Nearest pull a part is an hour away and it has one similar xj that’s been on the lot for 3 months.

I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier. Here’s a repeat.
2000 xj
starts runs 2 seconds then dies. Pressing the gas and increasing the RPMs does not help. Engine does rev up but still dies
replaced
IAC
MAP
TPS
swapped relays for ASD and fuel pump. Checked fuses for ASD and fuel pump.
after clearing previous codes none return.
does not appear to have a SKIM. None physically found and no key light illuminated ever.
not finding any lose grounds, battery is fairly new.
next steps are either new ecm or fuel pump. Neither are desired.
Suggestions?

I had the same problem with my 2000 XJ... Change the starter and it wasn't the starter even though it had it low reading when I had it tested later on but it ended up being the crankshaft position sensor and it's a ***** to get to I highly recommend looking into that
