Long time Jag owner / new to forum
2000 XKR & 1989 VDP owner. New to forum, so probably posted first inquiry into wrong thread, but can't seem to get back to the page. Anyhow, for the first time, my XKR went into restricted mode, but self-cleared after 2 minutes at idle. Drove the car 4 days later and it went into restricted mode again, but only self-cleared after I drove it 1/4 mile to the technician's driveway, literally clearing when I was braking to a stop at his shop. Naturally, tech couldn't reproduce the restricted mode after 3-4 hrs of intermittently driving 4-5 miles, letting it sit 10 minutes, restarting without restricted mode popping up again. Tech said no codes were set, and said if it's a coil, a code won't set. I'm tempted to throw some coils at it anyway, as the current ones are original. 60k miles on the car. Any suggestions as to whether I'm on the right track and, if so, any recommendations of brand to buy or store to buy from? I see coil prices anywhere from $25 ea to $100 ea. Any suggestions appreciated.
