My 2002 Jaguar x type has the engine light flasing. I took it to Autozone and had the error codes read it said cylinder 5 misfire and something that had to do with the airflow. I have since gotten a message saying cruise not available and gearbox fault what do I have to concentrate on to fix this Because there are so many things it makes me believe one problem fixed will solve most or all of these errors.
The most common problem for a misfire and a flashing check engine light is the ignition coi on plug.
Each spark plug has its own coil pack. With a coil pack failing it will also cause a airflow code as the car will start to run rich. With the vehicle misfiring it can also inhibit the Cruise control but it will not necessarily bring on a gearbox fault. The most common cause of the gearbox fault light coming on as you describe is usually a weak battery.
I would replace the coil pack and have the battery tested.
Thanks and good luck

My Jag Mechanic said it was the head gasket as well. Didn't make sense; I've been messing with engines too long to buy into that one. - sort of like going to the doctor for a splinter removal and being told its really a cancer. Non sequiter.
Anyway, replaced the # 2 coil and the plug for good measure myself and went happily on my way.
I and my bank account thank you
