(Pt 2) Jaguar = Beached Whale? (LOW POWER! S-Type V6)

After installing the brand-new Fuel Pump, the 2005 Jaguar S-Type comes back to life!

Everything seems perfect...until you try to DRIVE it...The Jag FALLS ON ITS FACE!!
Check Engine Light starts flashing and eventually it goes into LIMP MODE...not good!

Can we efficiently and ACCURATELY pinpoint the cause of the severe LOW POWER?
Yes, IF we use the right tool for the job...

Enjoy!

Fixed a speaker in my camper this weekend. Loose wire. I shouted “no parts Hahahah. Love the SMA reference! Love both y’all! ❤❤❤❤

Fabulous diagnostics and repair on that Jag... What a challenge..!! Kudos to you...!!

You did a great job with the Labor Day special. Lots of content to enjoy for many days. As much as I wish your job was easy, I know you love the journey and appreciate bringing back the old forgotten cars back to the road.

As soon as you dogged it, I knew it had plugged exhaust. That sound is unmistakable. Even on video. ;)

Pressure transducers were a must when I was a field service tech on industrial air compressors. You can guess and hypothesize all you want but a real time diag will always win every time all day long. I like the way your brain works Ivan . It's always 99.9% spot on

When I was working on containerships, we had a pressuer transducer and portable computer for taking main engine pressure readings on the huge marine diesel engine. The Chief Engineer told me I could buy a new Corvette for the price of that transducer and computer setup. So $450 for your setup ain't bad at all! Cheers

Jump that coolant level plug to extinguish the idiot light. Being on or off will not will not do any good without the switch anyway. Might as well turn it off👍Good work keepin' these older wheels turnin'

I have Ivan's original version transducer. I don't use it enough to upgrade to the latest version but definitely the right tool when you need to measure pressure. Well worth the price. Nice diagnostic my friend.

When he said valet parking, I started laughing 😂. Sorry, Pops that definitely is not the issue.

[JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

There had to be something else, Ivan :-) Great to know the Jag is now in good working condition! Excellent diagnostic on the cat - scope and pressure transducer are an absolute must!

[Sandmansa]

That growl coming from the intake was speaking to me. And what it said to me was too much exhaust back pressure. But when the owner started saying something or other about valet parking??? I'm thinking, you can believe that if you want. But I can assure you it's not that. Nice work Ivan. You just may just convince me to use a pressure transducer yet.

And about the 2 month wait. I can believe it. Even my shop is sometimes dealing with parts that are nearly unobtianium. Back order wait lists being 6 moths or more. Or pay astronomical prices to get stock that's been preordered for someone else.

Great video! Love how much you’ve have come since your first video. You have the most videos with no parts required!!!’nn🎉😊

[craiggoodwin]

Ivan, great job! Nice to know that Jag is back on the road again. Hope you sell lots of those transducers. I'm rooting for you. (Actually the PHAD socks are more in my price range.) Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[brianw]

Cool. Hard to beat a happy ending. It’s not yet feasible for me to invest in the pico/ transducer, maybe someday. Until then, I know where to send those that need these diagnostics. Got an older Highlander coming that might fit the bill if I have trouble. Always great stuff Ivan. 👍👍🇺🇸

[fowlerkennel]

I could never handle customers hovering over me while working. I wonder how they would like it when they were at their jobs. Props to Ivan for tolerating it!

[major__kong]

Every time I hear a clogged cat, I think of that line from Batman for some reason - "This town needs an enema!"

[Jayf]

My 2000 Jag had a valet key to restrict performance and access to secure areas like the trunk!

[neilmurphy]

Good job iven it looks great now I bet the owner is delighted

Just thought i would add about the catalytic convertor. Quite a while back i watched a Diagnose Dan video where he was brought a car that had the engine light on and it had come in with a new cat installed. He found that the new cat was giving too much back pressure, therefore setting the Engine light on. Forget the make of car but he is in Europe, so it was one of "those". The OEM cat was really expensive, so he did find one that had the correct parameters to not set the light off.

I have your transducer and use pico7. Was able to get your pressure tables to work. Good value and no issues 👍
