XJR bucked on me twice and went to restricted mode. - 2/28/2008 4:04:32 PM    Donzi   Posts: 53 Joined: 2/25/2008 Status: offline 2000 XJR, 65k miles. Car is new to me, had it for 1 week. Here is what happened.....Trans in sport mode, under moderate acceleration from about 55 mph. It bucked on me fairly hard twice, I backed way out of the throttle. Performance restricted mode on message center, check engine light came on. Message went away within 10 seconds and ran normally instantly. Drove it another 20 miles home and never did it again. it runs normally now, but check engine light is still on. 60K service was done on it 1 year ago by dealer. It drove purrrfectly last week for 130 miles when I drove it home after I bought it. Any ideas? Also is there a scan tool that I can buy/afford that could be usefull?
