Chances are the coolant temperature sensor or its wiring have failed, or the vacuum line to the MAP sensor is leaky or broken (I believe the V12 in '89 guise uses MAP sensors). The MAP sensor measures Manifold Absolute Pressure. Along with this pressure the ECU looks at engine RPM. It also measures air temperature. Knowing pressure and temperature we know density, and knowing engine speed tells us how much volume of air is going through the engine. All of this together is computed into air mass and is used to calculate how much fuel mass should be admitted. If the vacuum line is broken, the ECU reads less vacuum and produces rich mixture thinking that the engine is under high load.

Location of OBD port on a 1990 or 1991 Jaguar XJS with a V12 engine.

A good chance that your car does NOT have one. OBDll was not required by law until 1996.
Some manufacturers had there own systems before then.
I found the following web reference:

"Sorry fellas, the 1989 XJS has no onboard diagnostics at all. It only has a red feedback monitor hookup [with a blanking cap] back near the fueling ECU in the boot. It was used for mixture setup and that's pretty much it.
The trip computer fault code readout didn't arrive until 1992."
The trip commuter readout he refers was a way to get codes (after certain steps taken) to show up in the trip computer display.
For OBDll compliant cars .... the port has to be within 3 feet of the driver with full access .... usually under the dash

HOW TO FREE UP A STUCK VALVE ON MY V12

Doubtful the valve is "stuck". More likely to be burnt. It happens. Do a compression check then pull the head off and replace the valve that is losing compression.

How many miles will you get out of the v12 motor in a 1989 xjs? Im looking to buy one but it has 250000km on the clock

I would get complete set of maintenance records for that one. 250k is alot for a jag especially a V12. That one is either running on borrowed time or has been meticulously taken care of.

1989 XJS V12 furl problem

Obviously, fuel and oil should never be in the same spot at the same time. You have a dead cylinder and maybe a stuck-open injector. The black smoke is from a too-rich fuel mix, so the cheap things to look for are in the fuel injection system. Look at the fuel pressure regulator as well. Good luck, and don't forget to relieve the fuel pressure before you do any work on fuel inj. engines!
