Default Fail safe Engine mode

Hello all,

This is my first post, but i have read some of the comments here and alot of them have been very helpful. Not sure how this works but here goes.....

I recently bought a 2000 jaguar s-type 3.0 v6 from a private owner so i have no warranty ( yeah i know, smart move huh). At first the car was driving fine, then all of a sudden i got a check engine light, fail safe engine mode, and about five codes. I googled some of the codes and tired to fix some of the problems but it seems like nothing is working and it's driving me crazy because i don't know what to do! . Took it to the jaguar dealership and was told ( after spending $150.00 on a diagnostic test) that " It can be a number of things, We would have to start working on it to figure out what the problem is" . I believe they thought i had stupid on my forehead. Anyway, back to the codes. AutoZone was able to pull codes P0795, P1383, P1380, P1576 and P102. Like i said before, I googled the codes but i am still unsure as to what is what and do i fix them in a certain order. Or should i just give up and forget the $5000 i spent and call it a lesson learned? i fell in love with this car as soon as i saw it but it's really becoming a real buzz killer!


Any feedback would be appreciated,
Thank you all in advance for your time.

Welcome to the forum Kelsey,

Two smart moves - (1) getting the codes read and (2) bringing them here.

Norri has put you on the right track to the S-Type section. The knowledgeable experts there will explain the codes and how to proceed. You'll get plenty of information and advice to help you resolve the issues.

Let's get that buzz back in the S-Type.

Graham
