If you have Individual COP Ignition Coils,then
replacing the bad coil or several coils, if necessary,
should resolve the issue with misfires
You can not just expect the PO304 code to be cylinder
number 4 with the misfire
It may be this time & it may not be,so you need to have it
checked with the proper test equipment
That said, if the car isn't drive in hot weather & at least
20 miles, they may not find the problem or just throw parts
at it, & take your money
Just a couple of things to keep in mind
Your car & some fords have similar issues, as ford
once owned & stole some jag technology.

Check the igniter module.
I assume you have a ecu code telling you #3 coil is missfiring ?
If so also check the crankshaft angle sensor .
If it is not an error code do a compression test and check the injector.
Hope this helps

Get your local garage to put a scanner on the car. The early s-type used to suffer from ignition coil faults. If a fault has been hinted towards a specific coil then swap to a different cylinder and see if the fault follows wich will indicate a coil fault.
Has the vehicle had its spark plugs changed? every 70.000 miles as they tend to fail if left unchanged. Intake manifold requires removing to replace bank 1 plugs.
Also check the small rubber elbow on the end of the plastic beather pipe wich runs throught the intake manifold branches. Elbow is located at the rear of the engine
Hope that helps

1998 Jaguar XJ8 cylinder numerotation:
1234 right bank on the passenger's side, and 5678 left bank on the driver's side.
In other words cylinder five is the 1st one on the driver's side closest to the front of the belts.

Yes, definitely. I just had the same problem on my 97 xj6... car was misfiring, running very rough at idle. My last ignition coil was bad. I had it replaced and solved the problem. Try it yourself first. The repair shop wanted almost $400 to get a new coil and replace it for me. I found a coil at familycar.com for $57. I pulled one coil out and the boot was slightly melted at the end. Be very careful taking them out as nothing is cheap on our vehicles... Good luck!
