  • I wanted to see why this Jaguar XJS would not rev past 3000RPM. my suspect was the distributor pickup. This is an easy way to test that!

    Your distributor design looks similar to that of Chrysler's or Ford's, which leads me to believe that the problem might simply be the gap between the reluctor wheel and the pickup. If it's adjustable, look-up the factory spec, and use a set of brass feeler gauges to set it. But before you do, disconnect the leads and remove the pickup, to check the internal resistance of it. If it's out of or near the edge of specs, replace it with one that falls within them and proceed to set the gap.
    Btw: Is the ignition module separate from the engine's computer management? If so, try replacing it with a known functional one and see what happens.

      It's got a new ignition module. The car runs, just loses spark past 3000 RPM. I'll try the resistance trick, but I already have plans on replacing the pickup coil with a known good one.
