Hello, This is my first time posting here i really hope you can help, I have a S Type V8 4.0 Petrol and its not going so well, Car runs really good from cold but when its warm i lose power around 40-50 mph and then i get the amber flashing light, All plugs have been changed, I have checked the coils and replaced the fuel filter, I have had a scanner on it and it shows 0 codes, Not sure if this helps but i have noticed a burning rubber smell too, Smells like its coming from the back but i could be wrong, Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Thanks

I would love to put loads of money into the car but its already cost me double what i paid for it, The flashing lights do stop when i reduce speed and do not stay illuminated (I dont drive it anymore), I just have no idea what it is, Sparks are new, Fuel filter is new, Checked coils they seem ok, Im at a loss

And then check for codes then fuel trims.
It's likely to be coils and/or an air leak.
Being a 4.0 you may have a FAR bigger problem - it will need updated (timing) chain tensioners and related parts or sooner or later will trash the engine.
