Jaguar Repair: 1985 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 starting problems, 1985 jaguar xj6, jaguar xj6


Question
Hello!

My Jaguar will turn over, catch, and immediately die.  I have changed the fuel filter and the spark plugs.  The fuel componants seem to work.  I do not have the expertise to check the actual injectors, though I have checked the fuel pump, line pressure, air valve, and the wiring connections.  Do you have any suggestions?  If it is the injectors, is there a way to clean them?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Martin,
It is never a useful idea to try to guess what is wrong. The only way to locate a problem is to test.

Read the other Jaguar question I just answered or go to my web site and read the tech tip on starting an engine.
