1997 xk8 coil failure

Welcome to the forum.
Not the most pleasent way to begin your Jaguar experience.
The V8 coils do fail, and a 1997 is getting up there in age for them to need replacing anyway.
The spark plugs, as in old/wrong heat range/wrong type/etc can cause the coils to not work, which will also throw a code.
If it were mine, and for peace of mind, I would replace all spark plugs and coils. That way, many years of enjoyment will follow.
Stay away from the "cheapy" coils, as I read here, they are just no good.
Maybe repost this in the XK8 section, and you will get flooded with suggestions/choices.
