Hi, New to this forum. I just bought a 1983 Jaguar xj6, bountiful car. It was not getting fuel from the fuel pump. I bought a new pump and found there was no 12 volt power to the positive lead.,,I tryed jumping the relays on the fire wall with no result. I found that with the key on I had 12 volts at the fuel tank selector, so I cut the plosive wire that was going to the fuel pump and splised it in to the hot tank selector wire. Pump turns on now and pumps fuel. But now the starter will not turn over. I know i probubly should not have cut that wire but was out of idias.I would apricate any help you can give me.

Welcome aboard.
