Bad news everyone...my check engine light decided to turn on this morning...

 

RATS!!!!!!! That vehicle ran smooth as new when it rolled outta here Saturday early afternoon. We will talk.

 

Time to get that car rescanned...

Rick do you have your scan tool back? And Joel, time to order one

Take care,

George

 

George, I already ordered one myself from Amazon, but I chose the free shipping option, so it's gonna take a while to come (5 to 8 business days). In the mean time, I'm gonna take it to Autozone to figure out the codes. I might meet up with Vance580 cuz he ordered 1 as well

 

I bet it comes quicker, I've had good luck with them.

Def shoot it to Autozone get us the codes, and if Vance can live scan the car that would be great.

Take care,

George

 

Went to Autozone and got 6 codes:

P1000
P1313
P0300
P0503
P0303
P0301

My gas tank was almost empty (less than 1/8th full) and the guy at autozone told me that could be why some of the codes were showing up. I went and filled up my car with premium gas and the check engine light was still on. Don't know how much of a factor that really is, but just brought it up since the guy at autozone did.

 

I sent you a pm. I am hoping to get it in the next day or two so we will meet up then if you havent gotten yours. I believe you are just down the road from me after I talked to Rick.

 

P1000 means the system monitor drive cycle isn't complete / or there is a system fail. That just means you have codes etc.

Are you sure about that P0503? That's not coming up in the Jag DTC database for the 2003 S-Type.

Looks like you were misfiring on 2 cylinders, at least momentarily. Fill the car with premium, and drive it around for a bit, see how it feels or if you get restricted performance again.

You may need those coils after all. But it also may have been you sucking crap through the bottom of the tank.

Take care,

George

 

I believe he got new coils over the weekend.

 

I just wrote down all the codes the guy said and got a print out of them. I can scan them all and upload them over here so y'all can see what the possibilities are. The guy at autozone did mention things related to the cylinders and mainly about my fuel. I haven't been getting restricted performance, but just the check engine light though sometimes there's a rattling noise, it was also there before Rick had fixed my car the first time.

Vance, I got your pm, I'll give you a call tonight or tomorrow and we'll find a good time to meet up. And yes, I did get new coils this past weekend.

 

Post the scan up...

Vance and Joel, how far apart are you guys??

Take care,

George

 

ok...I've attached all 6 print outs of the code information I got from autozone. Here they are:

 

We are very close. I live just south of Joel. We talked and we are gonna get together once I get my scanner. I just ordered it last week and its a little delayed cause of the Presidents day holiday but should have it in the next few days.

 

What happened next ?

Been browsing and followed this thread from its beginning very impressed how you all got together to help

Well done
