Hello all automotive troubleshooters. One week before my return to Florida for the winter, my summer wheels crapped out on me. I have a 99 xk8 with aprox. 110k miles. I checked it with an actron pocket scanner and came up with the following codes. P0455 -
obd eobd vehicle dlc code (evaporative emission system leak detected (large), p 0506 - idle air control and last but not least p 1396 - variable valve timing solenoid. I admit i haven't a clue what any of that means but am curious to know what i'm dealing with as I parked the car in the garage will take care of this matter in May of next year. I would like to get some guidance as to how serious codes are. The Jag dealership in my area is very expensive and want to make sure i don't get raped by them. Any help out there will surely be appreciated.

 

samauger,

I've moved your question from XK/XKR 2006-Onwards to XK8/XKR 1996-2006 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.
