Us mere mortals have to settle on an AutoEnginuity scanner. you'll have to pay for the scanner itself as well as the Jaguar bundle. It will cost you around $350.00 or $400.00 total. I have one and use it for my Ford Diesel and my Jag XJ8. If you get the Jag bundle it will read everything frp, Powertrain to SRS and ABS. Without it you're at the mercy of others.

The bucking thing could also be just bad gas? If car was onlybought last week, could be sucking through some old gas.
Also, replace fuel pump relays. Seen them get sticky.

Problem fixed, a new MAF sensor did the trick.
Thank you all for your help!!

maf sensors are pretty common fault for lean codes if there arent any vac leaks found first

I got a cheap OBD II for about $50 on ebay, and it's good enough to read and clear codes. it also gives some live data as well. For you purposes, you probably don't need to spend more than this. There's a bunch of cheapos on ebay that may suffice.
