fire your mechanic. 89 Jag XJSV12 has a crank sensor located at the front of the engine on the left side of the crank pully. Also has a flywheel sensor mounted at the top of the engine at the rear almost in the middle drivers side.. Also they both have soldiered bad connections that are covered up by a plastic cover just a few inches away from the connection to the sensor. take it apart and resoldier the connection.
