Hi just need help ive just bought a Jaguar S Type R 2002 the car was running fine apart from Engine Light on Dashboard just parked the car then tried to start the car the next day and no fuel pumps are working??

Do i need to change Fuel Pumps or is their anything i should check or change??any help will be Fantastic

Thanks

 

Same thing happening to me. Car sat for about 90 days, now no start, changed the fuel filter, and the battery. All is well.

 

Try changing the fuel filter first - when doing so if you see any silt or dark fuel (blackish brown) or any material coming out of the fuel filter - odds are that your fuel pump burnt out. This is a common issue, especially when sitting for a while. You can also check the inertia switch under the panel - drivers side - black unit with red button - ensure that is pushed in. Good Luck

 

Thanks We will do try this today! Do you recommend that IF the fuel pump went out that we just replace the both of them as opposed to one? They are both originals from 2001 when the car was built.

 

When I finally figured my main fuel pump burnt out in my 2000 S Type (Ugh!) I decided to change out both pumps - it will cost you more initially but well worth it in the end - best to get them both changed in one shot.

 

Thanks for all your help i will change petrol filter and check colour etc, The car started today without changing anything but thenn stopped after 10 minutes the Fuel Gage is on a quarter so maybe the fuel pump because i here that their 2 pumps intank, I also have seen that lots of people have changed the fuel pump wires.

Thanks again for your replys

See below but also use Search on words like lean (and even better the actual code).
