I have a 1993 XJ6 which was purring till yesterday, the engine had developed a slight lumpy wobble and a a bit more of a popping coming out of the exhaust, i thought this was just a spark plug gone on that cylinder as there was no difference in engine wobble or power when i removed the lead from the plug
I replaced the plug today and there is still no difference i tested the leads to and there all fine , i had been removing a car phone kit previously which required the fascia from the centre console to be removed , i know this not may seem relative but i do know how complex the electrics on jags are and wondering if there are any engine management looms passing through there, just in case i damaged or pulled something out.
Or is it more likely something under the bonnet

If it is popping out the exhaust I doubt if it is electrical. Does the plug look pure white after running it.If so the injector COULD be the problem
