Hi all, I am a new Jag owner , wanted one for ages. Picked up a metalic blue xk8 1997 last month, and got to work fixing the known issues, thermostat tower to ali, heater feed and return pipes, power steering cooler leak, headlining and cupholder repair. enjoyed every minute of the tinkering around especially the power steering fix where I brought some joiners and a small length of power steering grade pipe for £5 (around $8) at my local hydraulic tubing specialist (Hose and tube Supplies) and spliced them in. Total time including a total cleanup & pressure test and fill was 3 hours.
Got one more fix to do but unsure how to proceed. Get engine fault and Poor performance when i back off the throttle when driving (coasting) and pulled codes P1226 and P1227. It appears intermittent and usually after some miles so i guess when at operating temp. I think throttle body mech guard and due for a change of throttle body, but today at standstill I also got Stability Control fail.
Any thoughts, throttle body or ECM? Ta kev
