Got restricted performance. Codes pulled, #3 cylinder Coil fail. #3 Cylinder misfire.

I have JTIS CD and can do this work without issues, but as simple as this seems, I can only find a diagram bank A and Bank B. and the firing order. Am I to assume cylinder 3 is the 3rd to fire in the order (bank A #4 closest to the firewall on the passenger side USA).


If someone can post a cylinder number chart it would be most helpful.

1999 Xk8 78,000 miles.

codes are as follows: P0353, P0303

Thanks.

 

I know, Jaguar is real flexible with the cylinder numbering. When they refer to #3 that translates to A2.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
A1 B1 A2 B2 A3 B3 A4 B4

That's how Ford/GM always numbered their cylinders. I think I saw such a chart in JTIS at one time but not today. It is probably hidden in one specific year.

 

Actually, These 2 diagrams show the same firing order. I assume that a Code referring to "Cylinder #3" would mean #3 on the MY 2002.5 up Diagram above.

 

I haved seen the diagram in the JTIS also, but after 30 minutes of looking still can't find it. Thanks for the replies guys. The Coil is $107.00 at autozone.

 

Nice info Paul...FAQ'd at test points request

 

#3 cylinder coil replaced as shown in the diagram supplied by Paul. Codes cleared, car back to running like a top.

Another note of intrest to USA forum readers, I purchased the coil from AutoZone, turns out thier coils are OEM. $107 The dealer part was $135

Thanks again

 

no residue, the coil looked like the new one. I think they just break down over time and heat makes them fail after acertain amount of time. the tube and boot was clean and dry.
