The bucking may be just from hard acceleration while in rev limiter "safe" mode. Mine goes into that pretty regularly if I drive it hard. If the CEL is flashing, just keep it under 3000 rpms till you solve the issue.

BTW, get the codes on the CEL right away. Won't solve the question, but may point you in the right direction.


Oh 0331 heads and the joke that is last years of the 4.0L

No coolant in oil but it seems to be knocking bad. We're gonna tow it to our shop, maybe a new XK is is our future?
