Default 2004 Jaguar STR HELP

So I recently bought a 2004 jaguar s type r, it has 113k miles, it starts right up and drives good, but yesterday while driving it I was pulling out of my drive way and pressed the gas it was going good until I stopped at a stop sign on a small hill and when I went for the gas it did nothing, the motor didn't rev either but I completely let go of the gas then tried again and it worked just fine but it happened twice and I havent driven it since, the previous owner did mention it needed some abs sensors and im not sure if its actually the sensors and he also said it needs an ac relay switch which I cannot find as hard as ive been looking, I do have two abs sensors but I want to see if anyone has had the same problems and what they did to fix it. Thanks.

I would suggest you get the car scanned with a professional grade scanner which reads Jaguar proprietary DTCs, Your car has a "drive by wire" system where the throttle is controlled by the car's electronics, thus the ECU and/or control modules need to be queried to get to the bottom of your problem.

Also have a look at the fuel trims.

You'll need an OBD tool with live data - many use an elm327.

Do you know where I could get those scanners or where they could have those scanners? Thanks.

You have not indicated your location in your post. Your introduction post in the New Members forum indicates Texas. Basic OBD readers are available for use at most major parts houses (Autozone, Kragen, etc.)

More sophisticated units that read Jaguar proprietary codes are used in repair shops, or purchased outright by owners. The elm unit mentioned above is not too expensive to purchase. I have the iCarsoft LR-II, which runs around $150 on eBay, last time I looked. The iCarsoft i930 is a bit less expensive and is used by a number of forum contributors and will reaf almost all Jaguar DTCs.

I am in Dallas Tx and I did see the elm scanners for about $10 might go ahead and buy it.

Be aware that if you're preferred device is apple . You will nee the Wi-Fi ELM .
the elm will only give engine sensor data and engine codes .
It will not give you ABS codes . Or any other module codes .
Were the icarsoft will read all the modules .

I also have the icarsoft i930. It is your best bet for long term. It even accesses a couple modules my snapon solus pro wont

If you get a throttle body code back I would start by looking at the harness connection. For my 2003 STR the plastic cowl at the base of the windscreen does not seal perfectly. Consequently with it rains heavy the throttle body connection can accumulate water. The symptoms are exactly as you describe in your initial post.

Good point - it would need fixing so it seals.

The connector anyway can go bad as it's exposed. TSB somewhere but it basically says to fix it.

I recently took the Jaguar to my buddys shop and did figure out the problems, but it has a small oil leak, it wasn't happening before but its dripping just a bit every once in a while.

I need an ac clutch relay and the front two abs sensors. Anyone know what "Ac clutch relay control circuit low" means? I scanned the car and it said that but I can't seem to find anything for an STR

The actual code would be more help.

Generally, that phrase often means one of several things. It may not be the relay to blame but without the actual code.... you can guess.

I still have not figured out the problem and can't seem to find a reputable jaguar mechanic in Dallas Tx. Car is leaking a lot more oil now, still runs good but dsc is not available.
