Default engine light on restricted performance

This light came on and my car started to run like crap. This happend after gasing up. The message comes and goes and the car runs ok off and on. Is this problem with the fuel and will it go away after this tank of fuel is empty or should I take her in.

any help thanks

Jerry,

We can assume it's a Jaguar?

Beyond that, a slight hint on the model, year and engine spec would go a long way towards getting some advice in return.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST and post some information about yourself and your vehicle.

Jerry, you'll need to put this info into your signature so that people can help you quickly and easily in future.

Sorry I can't help but hopefully someone with more knowledge will be along shortly.

Note - are you sure you put the correct grade of fuel into the car?
Has the garage had any complaints of poor gas quality ( water in the fuel? It has been known )

Jim,



I've re-read the OP, looked for subliminal text, put it through BabelFish into all known languages and even checked for Stenography but, short of flying to Phoenix and having a look, cannot work out how you know Jerry's vehicle details.............

'By the time you get to Phoenix'
If Jim put it in our car section just 'because it runs like crap' I will take umbrage.

You are sure its gas and not diesel? Don't laugh this has happened alot. Pull trouble codes, report back and I will be glad to help. Oh and do not drive it anymore until you do as you may create much more damage.
