Need Help My X-type is ill - cant exceed 4500rpm
Hi all I need you help yet again. More problems with my X-type V6 2.1 SE 2003.
The first problem, which I have now resolved, was the fuel pump failed/ Burnt out connector.
For about the last 2 weeks my car has had a problem starting would just turn over and over until after about a minute of trying it always started. My thinking was this was the car not choking, once I connected the OBDII reader I was getting a N/A code?? P1000 readiness code, and P0037 HO2 sensor. So I would figure that the O2 sensor would be the reason for the car not starting.
Would that be right???
Next Problem
My father bought a new car and we was going to collect it about a 350 mile round trip.
My father drove 70 Miles to work in the morning in the Jag, picked me up at a train station and mentioned the car drove and started perfectly.
I then jumped in the driving seat and drove the remaining part of the journey to pick up the new car, I noticed that there was a slight reduction in power but thought nothing of it.
We picked up the other car and began our journey home, when I pulled away from a round about and put my foot down the car bottomed out at 4500 rpm which has never happened before I tried a couple more times and surely enough 4500rpm was the max it would get to!
Could this be Limp Mode on the ecu??
Next Problem
After the previous problem there was about 50 miles to home, the car got worse and worse, any hill or load on the engine just killed it no other indications on the dash other than EML which has been on since I got the car (I clear it, it comes back after 1 day). On a straight or down hill I could get the car to cruise at about 50 mph until the next hill etc.
Bout 5 miles from my home destination there is a mile long steep hill, the car got up the hill possibly on 3-4 cylinders at 25mph and then died at the top, smoke coming out of bonnet with a burning oil/plastic smell (water temperature was normal) could this be the un burnt fuel in the exhaust? luckily me and my father was carrying a tow bar in case I needed to tow the new car, luckily his new car had a nice powerful GM V6 which was enough to pull my 2 tonne door stop home.
Any Ideas??
Please Help.
On a positive note all the lights all work and so does the radio Wahooo.
