Hi i have a Jaguar XJS V12, it struggles to idle. We have cleaned and flushed the fuel system, new filters etc. Nice clean gas runing through.
New plugs, and yet it still idles rough and seems to pop until it is warmed. Even then there is still a little popping when you pull away.
Any solutions?

The signal from the coolant temp sensor being nearly short circuit could give those symptoms. The wiring in the engine valley is usually cooked and brittle by now. Not fully shoted though, that should give pinking at higher revs and really difficult starting in cold weather.
EDIT: Yes Warren is right, I overlooked the spitting back in my haste. Ignition timing is at least part of the problem.
