some help?
hello, my XK8 two weeks ago begun to fail, some moments works fine the other only 4 cilinders, I changed the spark plugs, the rabble, and coilovers, but the problem maintains itself.
the amber ligth apears,message:engine fault, pour veicule perfomance
I turned off the battery overnight and in the morning and worked 8 cylinders for one minute then returned to fail 4 cylinders.
some moments works fine, and other moments not.
the error in computer go to coils B C E H
Any idea?

First thing we need to know to be of help is what year XK8 you have.
Second what are the code numbers showing up when you pull the codes.
If it is showing bad coils for those three cylinders then take the B coil and swap it to a different cylinder and see if the misfire changes to that cylinder. If so then the coil is bad. If it doesn't then you should check wiring/connectors for contact, breaks, shorts and worn insulation.
It is also important that the battery be in good condition and fully charged. A weak battery causes all kinds of problems.
This should get you started, get back to us with results.

I've tried changing the cylinder coils and coils are ok.im looking to acquire an OBD2 that really works in the jag, already bought one that does not work.
any air leak make a problem like this?

Early cars with AJ26 engines had two coil drivers, one for each cylinder bank. The drivers are mounted on the fire wall close enough together that you can swap electrical connectors. If the problem moves to the other bank then most likely the driver.
Yes, year and model would make analysis and response much easier. Post that information in your 'signature' line and you will not have to think of it again.

Carlos,
Model Year is important information when troubleshooting error codes. Your profile show XK8 -1996 so I've added this to your forum Signature. It will appear automatically with your next post.
C1155: Wheel speed sensor circuit left front electrical failure
P2100, P1300 and U2012 are not Jaguar defined codes for your Model Year. What type of code reader are you using?
