Default My 1994 XJ6 floods out while idling

HELP!!

I've had virtually the ENTIRE fuel system rebuilt on my 1994 XJ6. It started out needing a fuel pump, then a tank, then all the lines. . . So now, it starts great but my mechanic cannot keep it running. He says the car dumps so much fuel into the system that the it floods out after a little idling time.

As I see it (and of course I'm a total novice here! First time Jag owner), the only potential culprits now are: the injectors (but they're the originals that have always been on the car); the fuel rail; or the fuel pressure regulator.

Where do we go from here? I'm so close to the finish line I can almost smell it but we've got this last hurdle to clear first. Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi, this section covers older XJ6 models up to late '80's. Your car will be either a late XJ40, or a very early X300 (I'm guessing XJ40). Re-posting in the XJ40 section will give you the results you need.

sorry to hear about the trouble, your best bet is the XJ-40 forum as jagent said.

here's a production Chart showing your car's model-year.

Thanks jagent and Jose.
