1999 Jaguar XK8 Question: Would a half tank of 87 octane gas cause the "Restricted Performance" warning
Answer #1arturo08 March 15, 2013, 21:38Master
if i remember correctly, jaguar usually runs a higher octane fuel. it has something to do atmospheric pressure inside the combustion chamber. it may cause the sensor to over react. shouldn't be a prob. but recommend upgrade air intake to higher air flow system if using a lower octane fuel. even just a high air flow filter.
