Thanks for reading/replying .

I just bought a 2000 Jaguar s-type 3.0 auto for $750

its misfiring and stalls in gear and under a load .
Goes in and out of limp mode .
DTC's = VVT over retarded , Throttle motor position reading unavailable ( TPS ? )

I erased the codes via OBD2 and oddly , it never gave a misfire dtc .

I pulled the 3 plugs , coils and valve cover off one side .
The plugs were soaked in fuel and looked to be fouled out from carbon .

BUT , cyl#6 i see this and notice it on the coil and plug and only in that one cylinder on the right side so far . Pulling the manifold and other 3 tomorrow .

Any help is appreciated
