Hi, The XJ-S is due for an MoT (UK state inspection) tomorrow, so I gave it an Italian tuneup before going to bed tonight. It runs fine - but: In 2nd gear (out of 3, GM400 box), with the pedal to the floor the engine started to buck and cough at about 5,500rpm. (In case any English police are on the list: Of course I was on a private racetrack at the time ;-) It felt like a rev limiter cutting in. Anyone have a theory why the car would do that ? Low fuel pressure is the only thing I can think of. The car has sat for a while, only being taken out of the garage half a dozen times in the last few months. Any pointers appreciated. Regards, -- Stefan Schulz jaguar@suaviter.demon.co.uk '88 XJ-S V12, UK version Follow-Ups:
