restricted performance. 2000 XJ8
Hi : I am a new member and would like to ask a question. Two or three times over the last few months My year 2000 Jag XJ8 has been giving me the message restricted performance and usually accompanied by engine hunting.I have used upper cylinder lube and various gas treatments and after a while it goes away ,usually day or so later. Today It started again and I happened to check the gas filler area ,it was full of water.Now that I think about it each time I went to put gas treatment in there was always water in that compartment.Now I removed the drain plug and sure enough it was blocked solid. Thats all cleaned now! Question could that be the problem?would just a little water in the gas create the decibed problem . Thanks. Ian
