What causes a nicasil failure on An XK8?
Nicasil failure is indicated by a reluctance to start, lumpy idle and the presence of engine oil in the induction system – it’s classic loss of compression leading to excess pressurisation of the crankcase. If you’re worried you can have a blow by test done, and should see less than 25l/m on a healthy engine.
How big should the engine be on a Jaguar XK8?
If you’re worried you can have a blow by test done, and should see less than 25l/m on a healthy engine. Jaguar heavily revised the V8 alongside the intorduction of steel liners and introduced a different throttle body and waterpump – both of which had caused grief on earlier cars.
Do you need to change the oil on a XK8?
Both are V8 killers and you can’t just rely on the engine temperatue gauge either. As a minimum you’ll need to see a FSH with no overextended intervalls between oil changes. If you buy a convertable have the actuating oil changed for the later spec type.
Why are my cam chain tensioners breaking on my XK8?
Engine cam chain tensioners are made of plastic and can be known to break up, thus causing chains to jump and bent valves etc. Tensioners are regularly replaced for mk3 metal ones, ask the question, budget 1000 or take the risk. Your advice is spot on. I respect and admire Steve’s advice, but haven’t personally got the balls or the skill to try it.
Why does my car stall at low rpm?
The will likely force your computer to stall the engine and only allow it to run at low RPMs, which means the car will only move at slow speeds. This is a safety feature enforced by the computer so that your engine doesn’t get too damaged.
What’s the difference between a stalling engine and a not starting engine?
One of the main difference between and engine that will not start and one that stalls while in operation is the ability for the computer to detect the problem.
When does a shorted sensor cause an engine to stall?
A shorted sensor doesn’t always set a check engine light or MIL (malfunction indicator light). The computer is programmed to trigger a “service engine soon light” when the sensor has failed for a predetermined amount of time, say one minute, it only takes an intermittent shorting sensor one second to stop the computer system (stall engine).
What is the diagnostic code for engine stall?
Diagnostic trouble codes P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, and P0124 are what will commonly appear. The engine can stall for no reason and without any warning. This happens when the TPS gives incorrect information to the ECM. The engine can stall at high speed, at low speed, or even at idle.
