I have a 2000 s-type jag. 3.0. The malfuntion indicator lamp warning light came on. What is wrong with the car? I have noticed for a while that the car doesn't have the same speed or pick up like it use to.

Suggested Repair

Have the ECM scanned for trouble codes to identify the fault that illuminated the malfunction indicator lamp, then repair the confirmed fault. Reduced power may be related to that stored fault.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 reports the malfunction indicator lamp is on and the car has less speed and pickup than before. The expert says the ECM has detected a problem and recommends scanning it for trouble codes. Another participant speculated about a vacuum leak in the PCV system near the intake, but that was not confirmed.
