Well it looks like we are getting progress on the XJ6 project. The brakes are fixed then I had a running issue. It appears that when I cleaned the back of the hood and the inner wheel wells and inside fenders, I filled the spark plug area with water. It was causing a pretty bad miss and then the car wouldn't fire. Electric and water don't mix I guess. That was a simple fix. I still have a check engine light on so I need to get the codes to see what the issue is.

I also ordered front door handles from Welsh as my keys do not work and the one handle was hanging out of the door. It was missing the retaining bracket, also obtained from Welsh. I also ordered a new hood Leeper since no Jag should be without and mine was stolen before I bought it.

I'm getting closer to putting it back on the road again.

 

That's just nice ,looking forward to hearing good news from you . Once you complete the car don't forget the pics for it

 

Once I get the car back to the house, I will take full shots. Before and after of the headliner, before and after I detail, etc. I just wanted to get all the mechanicals done before I do the cosmetics. I also have access to XJS mesh wheels that I might just have to install. Again, those are for the future and still need to get the car reliable first.

Oh I do have a question though. When I put the A/C on, I can hear the fan blowing but nothing is coming out of the vents, defroster, or floor. Is there some kind of diverter I need to see if its stuck?

 

The car has two blowers, one on each side of the dash. Check both motors to insure they are working. If you lose one, you lose far more than just half the air volume. They are designed for the air to meet in the middle and is thus forced out the vents. If you lose one, the majority of air flow just travels past the non-blowing unit and never reaches the cabin.

 

Ken,

Thanks for the advice. I'll check that out.
