no the engine light did not stay on. It was exactly as SBXT described when the check engine light, battey light and other lights come on in the ON position.
I just hope it doesn't happen again. Aquill, that tube you mentioned was fine on my car. thanks for heads up!

I was driving home in my 02 X-type 2.5 liter with auto trans and the car just died on me, as if it stalled. I pulled over on the shoulder and tried to restart the engine. It just kept cranking but the engine would not turn over. I waited a few minutes and it started right up? This has never happened to me before. Since I don't have awarranty....anywhere I should start looking? Everything looks normal and its running fine but I would hate to be stuck on the highway if it happens again. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Symptoms? Just like yours, and a few minutes later it would start right back up, only to stall out minutes later. All guages were fine, but the check engine light stayed on. Considering that I was able to go all the way home after refiliing my tank, I am inclined to believe the car dealer that it was bad gas. I was on 1/4 tank when it happened. They gave me dry gas, I refueled again, and never had the same issue again.
My new problem? It sounds like what Aquill described, but I have only noticed it since it has started getting cold outside. In fact, yesterday and today it went back up to 60 degrees and the problem has disappeared again. I'm sure it will return as soon as it gets cold in the next few days though.
What happens? I turn on the car in the morning and the check engine light comes on immediately. I get a roguh idle for about 20-30 seconds, then it idles fine. The 'crusie unavailable' light comes soon after too. The car drives in linp mode for about 30 minutes, then the 'cruise unavailable" light goes out, leaving only the check engine light on. When that happens, I can drive the car normally again. This morning, it was 60 degfrees outside, no lights came on, and everything was fine. I think i'll check that hose this weekend. Thanks guys.

I had a rough idle issue with my 06 that a can of drygas cured. However the dealer mentioned to me that sometimes the fuel transfer pump in the saddle gas tanks malfunctions and causes the car to simply run out of gas. He indicated that if I started having problems with the car stalling when the tank was low on gas, they'd replace the pump for me.
Hope this helps.

Hey NYC I almost guarantee that is your issue...my car had this issue for a few weeks and would subside for a while only to rear its ugly face when I least needed it too! You need to fix it though as the lean banks 1 and 2 is bad...take the car into a autozone and have them hook the obd2 up to the car...its right where your left knee goes when driving...oh wait your across the pond...on my left hand drive its where my left knee is I don't think jag would switch sides for that but good luck...mine blew a few codes but I'm pretty sure they were the codes for the cruise unavailable and what not...the tube takes all of but 10 mins to fix....I'd take a phillips and a pair of pliers perhaps needle nose and head to the local auto parts store that has a computer/obd for you to use...good luck...
Thanks for the heads up on that oldengineer...too bad they don't fix the problem on all cars that have the problem!

Hello ShaguarNYC, I'm in the east coast as well. I'm in NJ and go by the holland tunnel often. But anyways please keep us updated if you find out what was wrong with your car. I hope its a simple problem such as that vaccuum hose.
So far I put in a can of fuel cleaner into my jag and i'm gonna put in a can of Drygas as well. Now that I think about it, my Jag did stall as if there was no more gas. But so far its been running fine since that one incident.

Also, if I just replace the hose, will the car's computer reset the codes on its own, or does someone/something have to clear the codes for me? Thanks for all your help.

Yeah for sure!
Yeah they'll have to reset your codes but don't worry autozone has a obd2 to test for it...check that first and if it says something about bank 1 and 2 lean or something like that the tube is more than likely the culprit! Good luck!

I guess you can tell that the hose was the problem and I got it fixed!

EDIT: As for the actual codes, the numbers were different from yours but the message was the same - system lean!

One other thing about the pump in the fuel tank. My mecahnic told me that any car with an electric pump in the tank (not just Jaguar) should avoid having fuel levels lower that 1/4 tank because those pumps run constantly and the only lubrication they get comes from the fuel itself. With fuel too low, the pump can fail. So, yet another reason to keep the gas tank above 1/4 full.

Thats great! I'm glad that it was an easy fix. I am so paranoid whenever something goes wrong with my Jag as well.
Thanks for the pointer about not going below 1/4 tank of gas. I was always driving with the needle almost to the E (Empty).

I must have too much time on my hands, but this thread seems like the same issue: https://www.jaguarforums.com/m_29194/tm.htm
He seemed to get the issue as winter approached, just like me. I hope he reads this thread and changes the hose! It was 37 degrees this morning, and my car started better than ever, with no rough idle, and no CEL or Cruise Unavail lights, and no limp mode.
EDIT: I just cross-referrenced the threads

See thats the funny part...mine didn't happen in cold weather though? Mine was when it was still warm? I know that hose had to have been cracked for at least a few months as cracked as it was!
