Towed back home yesterday
Here's where we are at at this time. Because of the potential of a catastrophic engine failure I shut her down and I had her towed back to the garage. Main concern, of course, was flooding the sump with fuel. After I established that it was not a stuck open injector, I noted then cleared DTC, then ran the engine, revving up to 3-3.5 rpm. Seems that what I had was temporary. Maybe a bit of carbon some how holding an injector open. Added intake cleaner to fuel system. She is at this point back on the road. But I don't trust this is end of it. One thing is the TSB about power cleaning the intake. Is anyone aware if the BG flush system is still available? Can a DIY mechanic get a hold of one? The TSB indicates BG offers the system to dealers for no cost. Anyone have any experience? What I can surmise, to use that system, you have to break into the fuel rail or use a Schrader valve that is common on some makes used to release pressure. If my memory serves the 4.0 in the wife's XK had the valve. At this point I'm not giving up on the bad sensors, although she's back on the road again, the codes didn't make sense. The thought of the computers going hay wire kinda dose. I'll look to see if I saved the bad injectors and post some shots.
Thanks again

"Transient" is a good word for "it will happen again, at the least opportune time". I hate chasing these kinds of issues.
BG44K is a fuel injector cleaning product you pour in your gas tank. It's been formally recommended by JLR on a TSB.

Searching the internet I cannot find any examples of people replacing this part. I don't remember why I chose to replace it when doing the valve cover gasket/coolant system job, but I did.
