Replacing Fuel Injectors
Latest update:
I let it sit for 2 days and recharged the battery. Tried to fire it over today and it it hiccuped. I then floor the gas pedal and it di fire over for a split second then died.
I had it towed to an Indy shop in Ventura. They looked it over and it found it had a bad vacuum leak though the #5 Injector. I had torn one of the injector 0-rings. They also said the plugs had a lot of carbon on them, most likely due to the running rich condition of 7k miles.
Needless to say, they are going to order up a couple replacement o-rings and go from there.

Update on the car, I got it back form the Indy shop. Runs like a champ. All codes are cleared. Drove it all weekend and now off to get the Smog Cert done! Thank you for all of you r help here.

Hi Doorjok - I’m over in Camarillo. I have a 2005 s-type. Could you let me know what indy dealer you used in Oxnard? It would be very much appreciated… Thanks.
I would also suggest that you post the expected "intro" in the New Members forum which can be found here:

@IKOTL, have you tried contacting any of the local Jaguar Owners Clubs? I personally don't know of anyone I can recommend in Ventura County, but you can reach out to the LA Owners Club:
