New owner!! '89 xjs v12 cranks, has spark, has fuel, but won't start!!!!! Help!!!!!
Please help me! I have a 1989 Jaguar XJS V12 and I am super frustrated. It cranks, has spark, has fuel, but just won't start. I have checked all electrical connections, checked all the fuses. Checked to make sure the signal to the injectors were good. The battery posts are clean and in fact it's a new battery. I don't know where the heck to go from here! Please, can anyone tell me where to go next.... Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some advice.

Hey ali welcome aboard...this is the new members section. You won't likely get many responses here as this is primarily used for welcomeing newbies to the site.
You'll need to post up your query into either the xjs or general tech help section.
Good luck

"Has fuel" is a bit vague.
It could be getting way too much fuel ....are the plugs wet?
Or it could be getting fuel but not at the right pressure. You need about 36psi regulated. Do you have a pressure gauge?
Is the spark bright blue? Also, on how many cylinders did you check for spark? I ask because, if you have Marelli ignition (1989 was the transistional year) you could have one bank entirely dead and never know it if you happened to check for spark on the the other bank.

Is it a fuel problem?
Not sure if this will help, but I have a suggestion.
My fuel gauge doesn't work properly like so many others.
Check it out.
