Jag won't start
Hello All...
My son in his infinite wisdom let his 2003 2.5 X-Type Jag sit for about a year when all it needed was a new battery... So he finally gets a battery, starts cranking it but nothing... Doesn't even attempt to start..
He bought some Sea Foam and put in the gas tank (the tank was almost empty anyway) and put gas in it and tried again... Nothing..
Where can I start to diagnose for him what he should try next?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

My guess is a seized fuel pump. Rather common on Jaguar that sit for extended periods of time.

Welcome to the forum Scott,
I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X-Type forum. This is the place to post technical questions about your model.
When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.
