97 xj6 starting problem when hot
Guest
Posts: n/a
I have a 97 Jaguar XJ6. When the car is driven for a hour or so and truned turn off for less than a hour when I get back in the car to start the car it will not start. There is a very strong gas smell in the engine compartment. The engine will trun over but the engine will not start. I have replaced the battery. The problem only seems to happen when the car has been driven more than a half hour. If I let the car sit for 1 hour the car will start but there is a black smoke that comes out of the tail pipe. I have taken the car to my local technician and the car will not act up with him. He tells me that he can not find anything wrong with the car. There are some engine codes that the technician was able to get out of the computer : PO116 PO125 PO118. He tells me that these codes have nothing to do with the problem. Please help
The codes are all temp related and all point to engine temp sensor. You could try this first as an inexpensive guess.

I'll be honest, I don't think that is it; but, everything points to it.
PO116: ECT circuit range / performance -- falling temperature
PO118: ECT circuti high input
PO125: Excessive time to enter closed loop fuel control

your engine is starting to suffer overheating, the electrical and fuel system side should be thouroughly check. consult a jaguar service shop to get an idea, an engine tune up would also be good. when your able to start the car, how is the idling?
