Why does my Jaguar XJS engine not start?
If it is security related it won’t crank. Usual culprits are crank sensor and coolant temp sensor. I don’t thing you get spark if crank sensor is the culprit. The engine might be flooded. Put your foot hard on the throttle – to the floor. Start cranking for 20 seconds then bring your foor up to around 50% open throttle.

When did I change the fuel pump on my Jaguar XJS?

Why is my Jaguar 5.3 V12 he not starting?
The engine is not dead, when starter motor is working, engine is trying to start up, some 4-5 cylinders is working but no more cylinders working. We checked fuel pressure, changed spark plugs, distributor cap, coil, etc, everything should be Ok. It seems that timing is not correct.
