Hello-
I've read through many posting about P0128 and have not been able to use advice to correct the issue I'm having so I'm hoping if I explain my symptoms it might help others help me.
2011 XKR 175
Issues- P0128 code keeps returning
Resolutions I've tried
Replaced the thermostat twice- OEM
Replaced Coolant temperature sensor twice
Replace Coolant using a vacuum system to ensure no air is in coolant system- Orange coolant

As of last week the new battery was dead and had to jump start car - I've not driven it in 2 weeks.
Speed controller A code popped up after jump started and tranny acted funny- gear box fault.
Temperature runs somewhere between 183 and 203 degrees and does go back an forth between the range
Reset MIL and drove for 2 hours but P0 128 still pending when checked with scanner along with Evap and EGR cycle not complete - therefore the Emission system is not cycled for car to pass Emission test yet
Is it typical for these cars to be in second gear from a dead stop? Used paddles to start out in first and shifted through gears without any issues
I have several Jags- 2 XJ and have a lot of mechanical training but this is boggling my knowledge and cannot resolve.
With check engine light coming on the car will not pass Emissions test.

Not much information posted on 2011 series issues - most has been for 4.2 liters engines.
Mine is a SC 5.0.

Please post advice and possible solutions. Thank you
