What is causing transmission problem in 2001 Jaguar? - The Salem News
Q: My neighbor has a 2001 Jaguar XJ8 with 53,000 miles. Recently, while driving it, the engine had gone into a "safe" mode, what Jaguar calls a "limp home" feature. If you shut the car down and wait, it clears itself and you can drive normal again. He brought it to a transmission place, and they found no issues. This will eliminate any intermittent sticking valves. The vehicle is more prone to sticking transmission valves because it sits for long periods of time with dirty transmission fluid. Turning off the engine and restarting it cuts out the transmission pump and all hydraulic pressure wanes. Without hydraulic pressure, the valves can return to their normal home position. Q: I have a 2000 Ford Explorer, two-wheel drive automatic with a 4. 0 SOHV 245 cubic engine V6 with 125,000 miles. It runs well, but every once in a while the check engine light comes on and it starts to skip. we put a new plug in, and it ran fine for a while. So we put a new wire on No. 4, and it was firing for a while and it started skipping. That may reveal a bad piston ring, an intake manifold leak or even a lean-running fuel injector. To eliminate the fuel injector issue, you could move the injector from cylinder 4 to its neighbor and see if the problem follows. Source: www.salemnews.com
