Might get a better response if you put this in the proper forum. ie.. the Jaguar XJ8 & Jaguar XJR 1998-2003

Jaghead, I'm not familiar with the XJ but I would think it's similar to any hose connected to the intake that has that plastic collar (like on my X-Type). Push DOWN on the collar and pull UP on the hose. Try that rather than prying at it.

Default Any pictures or location details on these repairs? I have the same exact error

1. Removed and cleaned the MAFs with CRC MAF spray cleaner
2. Removed and cleaned the Air Intake tube
3. Cleaned the throttle plate and housing with STP Throttle cleaner
4. Removed and cleaned the Full Load Breather Hose ( notice there was some oil build up inside)

One last thing I read for me to do based on the recommend thread I read on this forum was to remove and clean the "PART LOAD BREATHER HOSE" and also clean the orifice hole, however my main problem was I am having a hard time removing the BREATHER HOSE CONNECTOR from the crankcase cover. Is the a special trick on how to the remove the plastic connector without destroying it? I tried prying it with a flat screw driver and plier to no avail.

Desperate- I am almost there!

I have the same exact error code conditions as of tonight while driving home.

Squeeze the two sides of the larger ring around the plastic connector with the knurling on it and pull the connector straight off its seat.

Default XJR Throttle Body, MAFS, and Part-Load Breather

I found this link to clean the air intake system. It works great. Step by step instructions.

Jerry:
I recently purchased a 2000 XK8 from a Professor at BYU. He took extremely good care of car during his 9 years of ownership. However, when I had it inspected by the Jag dealership in SLC they noted that the Full Load Breather needed servicing. I am sort of a novice working on engines, so do you think I could perform this task? Or would it be better to have a professional in Denver do it?
Thanks,
Ed

Default Full Load Breather

Ed, you can do this yourself. Follow the instruction (below link) as it pertains to the Full Load Breather Just be careful removing the breather hoses. Just squeeze and pry up gently with a slot screwdriver.
