Hi, i am new owner of xj6 series 2 1978. I buy this car a month ago and its start and running but it make backfire. I decided to make a compession test (dry and wet), i remove all the spurks and the wires. I didnt disconnect the fuel pumb during the test. When i finish the test i put back the wires with wrong firing order and the car didnt start. Then next day i put the wire correct and change the spurks but stil dont start and there is also fuel leak from ezhaust and at AED pipe when i try to start.

Does i made damage?
What i can do to solve the problem?

 

Welcome to the Forums.

You have seriously flooded the beast.

Number the spark plug leads, REMEMBER #1 is at the REAR of that engine.

Remove the spark plugs.

Allow it to dry out, maybe a day or 2, depending on the weather wherever it is you call home.

Then refit the sparkers, and the leads, and see what happens.

These a basic simple engines, but flooding them is simply a time consuming thing to cure. It takes as long as it takes.

Down here we call that time "Beer O'Clock".

 

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I have removed the sparks and leave it for three days. Then, I applied correctly the wires and the car started immediately. You were absolutely right, thank you so much.

Does anyone know whether there is an online mannual available for this car?
