After the production of the Jaguar XJS was halted, the spot and niche that it previously held was not left vacant. However, this was not for a long period of time because soon enough, Jaguar Cars introduced the Jaguar XKR to the public and the automobile manufacturer placed this new vehicle on the spot that the Jaguar XJS used to occupy. In fact, the Jaguar XKR was introduced to the public as a production vehicle in 1997. Up until the present, this vehicle is still continually being produced. It is classified as a GT car and it has been made available in two body styles which are the coupe that has two doors and the convertible which has two doors as well.

The Jaguar XKR is actually a part of the Jaguar XK series. This series comes manufactured in a couple of body styles which comprise of the Grand Touring style and the convertible style. Just like any Jaguar vehicle manufactured or simply shown to the public, the Jaguar XJR does not fail to stimulate emotions. After all, it is one vehicle that captures people’s attention because of its style and capacity to provide a superb performance.

This vehicle actually has gone though many upgrades and changes through time. Of course, these changes would have to be done so as to further improve not only the looks and style of the Jaguar XJR but also its performance and delivery as well. Although one could not see any significant changes done to its interior and exterior features, most of the changes done are underneath all the metal. In fact, the most notable modifications and upgrades were actually those that were done to the vehicle’s powertrain.

The Jaguar XJR is the kind of vehicle that would give the person looking at it, driving it, or plain riding in it the feeling that it is one of those sports cars that could and would change your driving preferences for it exudes an aura of confidence, exquisite performance, and perfect handling. Although it could be said that it would be quite impractical to buy this kind of vehicle if you need a vehicle that could and would do more things than just drive around and show off its features.

I see thin wispy smoke coming from a round thing with Spark plug Wires coming out of it, why?

1985 Jaguar XJ6 4.2
Passenger side of Engine, near the Front of it (Towards headlights)
Recessed from that bank and right on top, i see a round cylinder.. Cylindrical like a Starter. There is ONE Spark Plug-looking Wire coming out of it.

I see think wispy smoke coming from it.. i don’t necessarily feel heat.

What is going on?

(Car runs as good as it can for having year-old Gas in there… i’m still putting in Fresh Gas and B-12 ChemTool, Fuel Pump is 100% New as of yesterday… and i’m charging the Battery Water back into Electrolyte over a day or two, maybe more, as per suggested…)

That’s your ignition coil, if its emitting smoke then its either overheating or is burning off corrosion, either one could be another reason your car isn’t running great. The coil stores power from the battery and sends it to the distributor cap to be dispensed by the rotor button to the spark plugs. I would change it the plugs, cap, and rotor, then inspect the wire connections for corrosion or white marks from melting on the rubber insulator along the wire bodies. And water doesn’t turn into electrolytes, the water in the battery just dilutes the sulfuric acid. If you dumped the battery, replace it, the plates inside the battery are never meant to be in solely water.
