New member and New to me jaguar xj8 VDP
Hello Everyone.
Im new here so be gentle. My name Jay , From Outside of Avon NY My Car's Name is Ohwhathavedone. I recently picked up a jag xj8 - 4.0 with 97+k miles on it. She called to me to save her from being parked outside under a tree for the last 2+ year So I did. Got her home washed her to see the condition of the paint.. So far not bad at all... Next was the old fuel drained out all I could added a half can of SF, and 5 gals of new non Ethanol fuel. Cleaned all the Spark plugs checked gaps all at 40mm. Replaced coil #5 showed up bad on 1st scan. She started right up ran really rough then got better, She is in safe mode I scanned it with my Innvo 3100 and got a P0507. Engine is idle is around 1200. Dont want to invest to much into this car if the motor is shot. Once I run half this fuel out ill check the plugs then do a compression test on all the cylinders. If thats ok, Ill check for vacuum leaks. So there's my story ...lol Jay |

At least you are not going to be bored for a while Well done and good luck. |
Thanks...lol
So much to learn about this car....
What have I gotten myself into?... |
Welcome to the forums Jay, P0507 = Idle rpm higher than expected. Most likely cause is an air leak on the inlet between filter and throttle body.
