Visual Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Jaguar XKR, 2001 Jaguar XK8, 2001 Jaguar XJR, 2001 Jaguar XJ8, and 2001 Jaguar S-Type. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Visually inspect all electrical wiring. Look for chafed, stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connectors fit tightly and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed and are not pinched or cut. See underhood emissions label to verify routing and connections (if necessary). Inspect air induction system for possible vacuum leaks.
