I had this issue and I finally traced it to the crankshaft position sensor (CKPS). If the CKPS gives erratic information to the ecu the ecu puts the transmission in limp home mode. Eventually the CKPS will give up entirely and you will have a no start situation because the ecu does not have a clue what position the crankshaft is in so does not know when or what plug to fire.

Also engine dying when coming to a stop could be causedby a dirty/failed egr valve though this will not put transmission in limphome mode. Both these possibilities should throw a code. Get the OBD11 code pulled and you will be pointed to the right direction.

How do you reset check engine light on 2003 jaguar?

Hi. This is dead easy and doesn't need the electronic gizmo a garage uses. First, undo the earth terminal and the battery, then the live terminal at the battery - be careful not to drop nut or bolt as it is a devil to find them ;-). Second, hold the live and earth terminals (the cables not battery terminals) together for 10 to 15 seconds Third, reconnect terminals to the battery This resets the onboard diagnostics computer (OBDC) and wipes any errors from the memory. In the process, it turns off the engine warning light. Just one point to consider. Reseting the OBDC wipes out all error messages, so if you have had other problems that would be picked up by a garage doing maintenance, there will be no record until the ODBC has rerun its checks, which could be up to 1000 miles. This tip was given to me by an ex-Jaguar senior technician and helped when my LPG conversion kept upsetting the car ECU.


How can a person tell the different between problem with the battery and the alterator?

The quickest way to test the battery is to have it drop tested this involves using a tool to apply a load to the battery which checks it's ability to hold a charge.

What might cause your 1996 mercury villager transmission to hard shift?

Generally, one should have the codes scanned to make sure all the sensors are working correctly. Out of spec sensors can cause damage to the transmission. Make sure the alternator / battery voltage is correct too as I've had hard shifts when my alternator died. Failing that, you'll need to have a transmission shop check it out, working on external checks first before tearing it down.
