by the ecu in my 88 there is a long pigtail with two red
connectors on it…one connector has a jumper connecting it
and the other is larger with many places to plug
in…exactly what is this ???–

Probably the ‘‘feedback monitor socket’’.
From the book page 294:
FEEDBACK MONITOR SOCKET: Near the ECU within the trunk is a
4-connector socket on the end of a harness
with a dummy plug in it. Two connectors are a black ground
wire and a KB wire with battery voltage on it. The other
two connectors provide a voltage between 0 and +5V (relative
to the black ground wire) that corresponds to the amount
of correction the ECU is providing in its attempts to
maintain the proper Lambda feedback. The GW wire (pin 4 on the
ECU) is for the A bank and the GK wire (pin 10) is for the B
bank.–

Most likely, but the OP continues to post without telling us
exactly what car he has ('88 and '89 saw many running
changes). Don’t know why – I urged him twice in the last
week to add this to his signature line.
Anyhow, there are a number of modules in the boot. Not to
mention the fuse/relay panels on each side. Late cars have
there security modules and the TCM units as well.
As far as the diagnostic sockets go – not all cars have
them and they appear to be model-year/market specific (the
quote text applies to Kirby’s car, presumably?).
This is for example what one finds in the boot (right-hand
side) of a 6.0L V12 car:

this is on a pigtail with about 14 ‘’ of wire hooked to
nothing at the red connectors…I said on my 88 coupe. and
still don’t know what someone said is a '‘signature line’'for
posting???–

Sounds exactly like the feedback jumper. When checking the proper operation of the O2 sensors, you’re supposed to unplug the jumper and plug in the high-dollar special Jaguar diagnostic contraption, which uses the other two connectors for something – perhaps just 12V power.
The only problem with all that is that I didn’t think the XJ-S came with that diagnostic connector as late as your car. Did your car come with single-wire oxygen sensors or 3-wire?
