Hi Jashuar85,
I haven't had this problem on a Jaguar, but had the same problem on another car a long, long time ago. Replacing the coil and resistor did it for me.
Be careful the way you have it wired now! Again, I had the same exact issue on a different car and bypassed the external resistor. I believe this may be a ballast resistor to limit current drawn by the coil. When I bypassed mine, it worked great for a couple of days, until my wiring burnt out and nearly set fire to the car!
Just a heads up.
Regards,
Beaky.
