So today i am driving back from lunch with my boss andmy jag goes into "limp mode". Check engine comes on, red and yellow lights are on, message center says "engine systems fault" and "gearbox fault" (see pictures). embarrased i called a co worker to pick up our boss and i went ahead and called my emergancy roadside service for a tow. they said they would only tow it to the closest dealer not the one i wanted. which means i went to the one who never gives out loaners but provides a "shuttle service" [:@]

i have no clue what is wrong and will not know untill tomorrow.

i did a search on the forum for others wth this issue. so far i read about one who washed his car and fried something, another who needed a whole new tranny, on who's feed from the ecm to the tcm.

any one have any thoughts on any other ideas/reasons??? i wanna be metaly prepared when the dealer calls me tomorrow.

am i being negitive or am i really having horrible luck lately with me Jag?


the housegroove drama continues.

sorry for got the othe basic stuff; its a 2002 x auto tranny with 58000 blue tan interior, a small scratch on the rear right side bumper, and likes small kittens.

 

If you want to be mentally prepared bro, expect to replace the tranny. That way when they tell you something else, you will be happier.
Need to know what the codes are to give any educated guess. Could just be battery. Negative cable corrosion. Could be trans. Let us know and good luck.

 

got a call from the dealer, its not as bad as i thought, but not good.

they said its the throttle body and will cost me $1,200!!!!!!!!![:'(]

that is $2000 in just a month on repairs.

 

is the trottle body considered "powertrain"

yep i am grasping at straws

 

Throttle housing is part of the poertrain but not part of emissions warranty if that is where you are heading.

 

yep i was heading that way
