Well i got it started...


It finally sputtered back to life after attempting for the last 2 days.... Pumping the gas back and forth between sputtering and flooding is what got it going..

I haven't cheched the crank sensor yet because i ordered cam seals and will do it all in one shot...

Anything else this marvel of engineering needs while its parked...

I saw something about replacing the throttle body?





and thanks for all of your helps guys, again

 

I was just saying its the same story as ive read before... xj8/r dies and refuses to start..

 

I had the same problem. Replaced the Fuel Pump & Exterior Filter. Filter was clogged and I think it might have took out the Pump or weakened over time. After replacing both I had to crank over the engine quite a bit of times before it started. I had the battery hooked with cables to another running car and finally began to sputter and then started. Maybe the gas in the rail was too old. Sat for 6 months.

 

never ever, do that again,you risk losing your gauges and all sorts of malfunctions in this car.Instead remove the battery and have it fully charged free at your auto parts store.

 

In my 'won't start' story the problem was with pump as I thought. Replaced pump for new and everything fine again. What's gonna be next? :-)

 

Thanks for the tip. Will never try that again. Guess I was lucky!
Thanks again...
