long story short I was washing the engine waited for it to dry. when I started the car it seemed fine at first then i was driving down the alley and noticed the throttle was not responding I had the race pedal down to the floor and the car was at 15k or smt going 10-15. then couple seconds later the engine light starts to flash on and off, and the car almost turned off; I went back to my place and parked the car and the race was gone. I got out and something was burring opened the hood up and didn't see any smoke or nothing but the engine was shaking like a lot. turned the car back on and the race was fine wen I rev it to 2k there was smoke coming from the exhaust. I got this car for 500 as a project the guy told me the issue was with the coolant... NOTE > This is the first time this happened I drove the car from the persons house to my house drive was about 15-20mins I had filled the coolant abit and added water before I drove it to my house. here are some vides

the smoke:
this is when the race was working:

I am starting to think that you don't put your brain into action before doing silly things. Obviously you didn't read anything about washing the engine on these vehicles (or, in fact, not spraying water over the engine). Don't run the engine after the warning light starts flashing. You have flooded the spark plug housings and possibly cooked the coils and stuffed the plugs and leads. I'll let others with more experience than I tell you what happens now.... Just for my own information, did your 'clever' mate tell you to wash the engine? You know, the one who got you to do burnouts?

 

I did do my research and found that its fine to wash the engine I didn't use a pressure washer just simple hose with very very low speed so it wont get too wet

 

Well, I don't know - I feel EXTREME EXTREME pity with the poor cat you caught and keep in your captivity at present.
If you would not have the videos, I would suspect that you are someone, who likes to send the people here on a wild goose chase with your questions, as no one really would do those things to a car, let alone to a Jaguar, i.e. I would think you made that all up, as it is beyond me, how someone could do that kind of stuff...

Maybe this will help you:
There is indeed a causal link between action and result - like for example: If you smash a windscreen, it will be broken...

My comments above are related to what I THINK I read on your posting above - which I admit is extremely hard to read. I read it having in mind your last posting as well, where you wondered as to why you wrecked your Jag by letting someone attempt a burnout with the AWD Jag... Anyway, as I cannot really understand clearly, what you did - my interpretation was that you use it as street-race-car...

 

HELP, the older cars, the seals around the COPS (coil on plugs) tend to fail and they don't seal well. So, something in your future I would suggest if you plan on washing the engine bay again is to replace the seals there. You will need to get a valve cover gasket set. The seals are part of that kit (you actuallly need 2 kits, one for the front cover, one for the rear). The best thing I can tell you to do is to pull the COPS and blow some air into the wells and blow out as much of the water as possible. That should get your engine back to where it was.

 

There is ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE YOU'LL READ that ANY WATER on a Jaguar engine is ok.

Well, for that matter, no modern engine on ANY car should be cleaned with running water. There are multiple electrical connectors everywhere! Water and electronic modules (and the connectors for those modules) are not compatible.
