Read back through the threads, looking for similar titles etc / use Search
Plenty of similar, with fixes.
Plan to read the OBD codes and then Search here what they mean.
Check the FAQs.

Carloner, was it raining that day or day before? The Jags electrical system is particularly sensistive to moisture. As jagv8 suggests, search through the threads. You may find one discussing moisture affecting the throttle body.

carloner, don't sweat it. Your Jag is fine. My 03 STR does the same during a rain or day after, especially more that it doesn't have the protective under-engine plastic panel to keep water away from some of the connectors.
