Hi,

I've been looking through your site trying to find an answer to my problem.
I bought a 1995 XJS 6 cylinder. The car ran great for 3 weeks. Now the car will start and run great as long as you don't try to drive it! Sitting still, I can start the car and tach the engine up to 1600 RPM and it is fine. Any higher on the RPM the car will backfire and then there's an incredible smell of gasoline. If I take my foot off the gas it will continue running just fine.

Here's what's been done so far:
New Cam position sensor
Used Potentiometer in the throttle body
New MAP air flow sensor
New Temperature sensor

The issue has not gone away.
I was reading your forum about adjusting the Potentiometer, but since I've changed it and the problem still exists, I'm thinking that's not the problem.
Fortunately, I have another car to drive.

Any ideas on this one? I'm at a loss...... this car is in really great shape, but it won't go.

Thanks,
Buzz

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome......
These newer Jaguars are foreign to me..... No pun intended...... I'm familiar with the older ones that have carburetors.... these electronics are driving me crazy!
