Default New member - Project xj* in North metro Atlanta

New member here. I recently purchased a 2000 XJ8 that is not running. Previous owner tried a bunch of stuff to diagnose the fuel system and ignition system. Car will run with starting fluid. For the price I paid, I can afford to spend a little bit to figure this out. Other than the non-running, the car is in good shape. Timing chains let go about 10K miles ago and the previous owner spent $6000 on repair including rebuilt heads. Exterior is a 7/10. Interior a 8/10.

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar-running or not. And it's BLACK! My Favorite!
I hope you soon get it running so you can enjoy it instead of just working on it.

I love your butterfly bushes in the background. They are among my favorite shrub.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
