Anyway, this sounds like a computer problem..a total misfire...I just can't think of any other component that has control of that many functions all at once. I mean, no one fuse or relay could kill the ignition and work the trunk! One would have to examine the wiring diagram carefully to understand how this all fits together.

Replying to: rshoemaker (Nov 23, 2007 8:50 pm) I just bought a 2003 XKR (9000 miles) with this stuttering problem. Worse case at 1200-1500 RPM in any gear but more pronounced when on a slight incline or flat road. Two dealers (and $ 3000.00) with no luck. This car also shifts very hard compared to my 1998 XJR that runs beautifully. Anybody no of a dealer who knows how to fix this ? The car is of little use running the way it does.
