I recently took my 1969 XKE in to a Jag repair shop because it would shut off as soon as it turned over. I had previously rebuilt one of the carbs because fuel was leaking from one of them. The mechanic replaced the ignition switch (which he said was registering zero), the condenser (which he said was giving a poor spark) and the fuel pump (which he said was shorted out because of rust in the fuel tank). The car starts great, but shuts down after five or six minutes of driving and, then, I cannot get it to start and keep running. However, if I let it idle until the engine get hot, I can drive it without a problem. The mechanic said that I have the problem because of the rust in the fuel tank which will cost $1,000 to clean out and resurface the tank. I suggested that it may not be the rust because the fuel filter is not being plugged by the rust. The mechanic said that the filter is not designed to filter out the rust. What, in particular, I do not understand is that prior to rebuilding the carb (whcih was very necessary) I did not have a problem with the engine and for three engine components to be bad[:@]?!?!? ANY comments and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! fjp800@gmail.com
