my 1985 jaguar sovereign will start but will not idle it runs for approximately 60 seconds then stops had the air flow meter replaced 3 months ago it may be the problem....any ideas

 

Hi I've moved your post to the XJ6 technical section where you'll get more help.
Please take time to visit

and introduce yourself so we can say 'Hello'

 

Here's an easy place to start: carefully examine the ducting between the air flow meter and the throttle body. Any holes? Is is properly seated and secured?

If that doesn't pan out post back with more details about the problem. Does this happen only with a cold engine? Any black smoke from the exhaust? Is the throttle blade set to the proper .002" gap? Does it restart easily?

Cheers
