I work for a auto shop and have a customer that has a 2000 s-type and has had some issues with it. The first time I saw the car it had a misfire and was making a ticking noise. After pulling the engine apart I found that it needed the time chain tensioners replaced. The next time the car came in it had no acceleration and constantly set the fault code air assisted fuel injection motor fault. After disassembling the engine once again, we found felt packing material in the intake manifold that had clogged the #8 intake port in the cylinder head and we also found that the timing chains and tensioners needed to be replaced again. The felt packing comes from the car and is a danger the engine and the lack of acceleration. This is a danger and can cause an accident.

Comment: my wife has a 2000 jag stype v8 4.0 that we purchased aprox 4 yrs ago, but not from a jag dealer. The connecting rod in the motor went & a few months ago I got a used motor to replace that one & took it all apart & realized that the same thing was wrong with that one also. The #6 cylinders & the #1 were both bad. So I got another used motor & couldn't believe it but the exact same thing was wrong with that one too. I called a friend of mine who owns a repair shop to see if he could get me a deal on a new motor & he said that he just had a jag same year make & model come into the shop with the same exact problem. (now that's 4 motors within 10 min of my house that have this issue.) I started thinking that maybe there was some kind of recall or defect with it. I went to a jag dealer to talk to someone about it, & b/c I didn't purchase the car from a jag dealer I purchase it preowned the dealer said that they couldn't help me & that there is no known engine recalls that they knew of. I really don't know where else to turn, this is my wife's only vehicle, & we just can not afford a brand new motor for this car. Do you have any suggestions or know if there are any recalls or issues with it. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I also searched on the internet & there are a lot of people with the same problem & just don't know what to do. Well, thank you.

Engine runs poorly due to large vacuum leak. Stalled many times without warning. Problem component is a deteriorated vacuum hose at the crankcase breather under the intake manifold. It appears that oil, fuel, and heat are affecting the rubber. After repairs motor does not stall but continues to stumble at idle. Dealer unable to repair the problem even though they acknowledged there was something wrong.
