Thank you for your time. I aprecciate your help so much. I bought this car a few weeks ago and recently I decided not to use regular fuel anymore. Ive change it and the car responds better. Its better to use regular or its ok to use a fuel with more octane. Im also hearing like a wizzle under the hood, could it be a broken pipe.
Thanks

Without actually hearing the "whizz", I can only guess. I may be just a belt or any one of the accessories. As far as the fuel you use, the higher the octane the better. Keep in mind, it's a Jag, not a Ford Escort. Hope this helps.
