Jaguar Repair: Jaguar 1985 wont start, cold test, starter fluid

Question
It will only start when hot, It will not start cold

Answer
Hi Wyatt,

First thing to do is try spraying starter fluid into the intake tube. If that makes it start cold test the cold start system. If you are not familiar with the system let me know and I will go over the procedure for you. If it does not start with the spray, you need to run a compression test (throttle open) and let me know the readings on each cylinder.
