Hi all,

The latest thing in the saga of me trying to own a 4l S Type is on the way to work yesterday, the car started to misfire. I pulled the codes and got P0305 and P0205. I have attributed this to a faulty coil on cylinder 5 and will change it tomorrow.

Am I right in coming to this conclusion?

Thanks
Mike.

 

P0205 is an injector circuit code. I would check your injector wiring first.

 

Coil #5 (driver's side - first coil) - but ensure that injector plug is fully seated (more than likely you will find the plastic tang broken off) fully seat the plug for the injector, then you need to figure out if the coil is really misfiring or not.

 

Drivers side?

Would that be on a left hand drive vehicle?
I reckon cylinder 5 is front right hand cylinder as you look at the engine from the front of the car. Lol.

Thanks
Mike.

 

For identification purposes, the Parts Catalogue and Workshop Manual use Left and Right referenced from standing behind the vehicle looking forwards.

As a slight complication on the engine, Jaguar changed they way they number cylinders in 2003/04. Here is the guide:
