About a year ago we had a problem slightly different whereby complete power to the wheels would be lost, but after shutting down for as little as 15 to 30 seconds the car would start up and operate normally, until the next failure that is. The throttle body was replaced which eliminated the failures.

I have been told there is a small part on the throttle body which goes bad and only costs about $100, however, it cannot be bought seperately and the entire throttle body must be changed, at a cost of $1200 or more.

 

Hey Jags, sounds like Max is on the right track there mate.
We seem to have had a few issues along those lines on those vehicles.
However, if that does turn out to be your problem, try sending a pm to Ken@britishparts from this site as he may be able to offer you a good price!
Anyone else with advice, chip in an help a newbie out.

Jim

 

What kind of Jag is this?

 

had similar problem, had codes ran and was told probably a o2 sensor. checked the air filter for the heck of it and saw a hose(vac) at top running across from air filter, split wide open, replaced, reset codes, 1200 miles later, runs like a champ. total cost $5.00. hope this helps. good luck, Bill

 

Glad to hear the problem was solved without your having to spend a lot of money. [sm=happybounce.gif]

 

So did the replaced air filter really "fix" your problem? It would be nice to see some follow-up. I am having a similar problem. 2002 S-type with gearbox fault code and a P0795 on the ODE2 reader...

The car is new to me 2 days ago. I pulled the airfilter and it was oilly, dirty and lots of dust and animal fur, etc.

I left it out for a 2 minute spin to see if the gearbox fault would remain off or not. It came back on within 2 minutes or so. The cehck engine light is still on. They did not reset that when they read the code.

Any other advice? Thanks.

 

Bought new filter. Still throwing codes. Each one seems to be a different code. I guess I will be at the tranni shop on Monday morning.

Unless you all can give me some more ideas to try to track down the issue this weekend.

Thanks, Bug Doc (2002 S-type 3.0L)

 

hhhmmm, i should had look at this before, since i got sugar in the engine i till tryid to flush it out. i took out the air filter so it can blow the sugar out. that when the gear box error kick in. i hope this the problem i hate to have to replace the trasmission

 

The codes i got was P0708 , P0743, P0755, P0760, P0141, P016

 

P0708 = Transmission range sensor circuit high input
P0743 = Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit electrical
P0755 = Shift solenoid B
P0760 = Shift solenoid C
P0141 = 02 heater circuit(Bank 1, Sensor 2)
P016 = ???????

 

Seems to be common. My 97 XK8 has it too. Please post any fixes you have. So far one lucky person changed a filter and is O.K. Any others ?

 

Thanks for posting the codes guys .
