I had similar problems with my 86 XJ6. Had it transported to Neil Loesch, owner of Jaguar of Houston. Neil quickly determined I had the wrong amplifier module installed...wasn't putting out enough voltage...previous owner installed it. Also, the pickup module had a weak magnet and the diode pack was leaking. Neil suspected the leaking diode pack may have been causing the amp and pickup to overheat, thus causing the unexpected shut-down of the engine...nothing worse than having the engine die in the middle of a turn!
Neil installed a new pickup module, a GM amplifier module, and a used diode pack...except for a failed coil a few weeks later (old age), my Sovereign is once again a joy to drive!
For anyone within reach of Houston, I highly reccommend Neil for your Jag ills...one of his past lives was spent as a Jaguar factory tech rep...he knows his stuff and is very pleasant to deal with.
I hope this info helps...
