I've actually found this by accident. Have owned a 2002 S-Type for nearly a year now. It had about 120k when I got it, now it's about 130. Things have just started to go wrong with it for some reason. Back up alarm stopped working, trunk fills with water, lights don't shut off in the day time, mirrors don't work, amongst a few other things. Most notably, it started running rough. Guy says it's probably the throttle body. Long story short, ended up getting a code reader and have a P0303 misfire. Every where I look I get a different answer. I've got the coil, I just don't know which one to change. Is it the "firing order" or the "bank order" that's #3? I've even seen multiple firing orders. I've been able to get a Haynes for all of my other vehicles, but not this one. I can only find online downloads but don't want to spend the money unless I'm sure of what I'm getting.
Sorry for the rant, name's Kevin, from Ocean County NJ, LOVE my Jag but losing my patience.
Any help with the #3 cylinder would be greatly appreciated!

I have no idea, but a quicky repost in the S Type section will reap the answers.

Welcome to the forum

 

Hello again and thank you for all the welcomes, well wishes and directions. I will certainly be following up on all of them. I've come to find much more than "help" here in this forum, quite enjoyable and the people make it a nice friendly atmosphere!
Just as an update, After wading through all of the "back yard mechanics 2 cents, I find I actually knew where it was to begin with. It just sometimes seems when some people tell you things, you begin to doubt yourself. Either way, I got the coil, removed the #3, and it's FULL of oil! After looking around, it appears it may be a valve cover gasket problem????? In the process of trying to clean out the oil, replace the coil, see where we go from there. I forgot to mention when we first got the car, we had no defrosting. Put it in the shop and $2K later, we were told the engine needed a major overhaul, had mis-matched spark plugs and what have you. Ran fine for a while... until now.
So. my sleeves are rolled up and I'm ready for work!!
Again, thanks for the friendly atmosphere, I won't be a stranger!
