Hi, just did water pump and have a pair of wires about 400mm long coming out from behind the air pump area. they are both male.. Just hoping someone knows where the should go.
Also any revs over 3000 gets misfiring and backfire
Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
Someone will be along to tell you to post in the appropriate forum.
Until then let me take a guess, umm, mass air flow sensors?
Might help if you give full info on the car and tell me where is tauranga?
Are you an Aussie?
Best of luck to you.

 

Welcome to the forum casper, I have added you to the NZ Roll Call thread.
Try Looking up Geoff (or Jeff) DeMay(spelling may be wrong), probably almost retired by now but ran a top independant Jag workshop down on Fishrman's Wharf ( where Beacon Services were). Dive Cresent, right below the netball courts on Cliff Rd.

East coast of NZ about two hours south of Auckland. My hometown. 29 years ago it was a sleepy beach side town. Went back for the first time last year and it is a sleepy beach side retirement city now.

 

Congratulations on your water pump repair!

Welcome.

Since yours is a 1983 HE, the misfire is more than likely one of the Ignition Coils is dead or the front coil, out the front of the radiator on the LH side, is unplugged.

The 2 wires are likely to be from the idle up solenoid in the RH air box backing plate. Probably been removed.

The XJS playpen will have LOTS of suggestions.

Dont forget to add your car details to your Sig via the CP tab at the top of the home page, saves people asking.

 

You guys know your Jags!

Hope I didn't upset asking if he's an Aussie.

Aussie/kiwi, what's the diffrence. Apparently we are the same if you come from the northrn hemishere.
Just like Canadians & Americans are the same!
