Starting problem, Jaguar XJ6 1979
Hello Everyone
I have a 1979 Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 My problem is this. As I move the engine in a cold state, it drives easily. After driving, the engine is warm, I turn off it for 30 minutes or so, he did not start. I have to wait about an hour until it start again. Starter spins strong. I checked the ignition system, everything right. I thought there was a leak in the injectors, changed them, did not help. I replaced the temperature sensor. Another thing, when the engine is hot, it does not work round and fakes. I'd love to learn from the experience of others Welcome Gideon |

Are you sure? How did you check for this? Here's why I ask: The ignition module and the coil are both known to give starting and/or running problems *when hot* and then return to normal operation after cooling down. Both are easy to replace. (In mentioning the ignition module I'm assuming your Ser III has the typical Lucas CEI system -- Constant Energy Ignition. But, since your's is an early Ser III you *might* have the older Lucas OPUS system....a different kettle of fish entirely. The Lucas CEI is easily identified: if there's a black box bolted to the front of the inlet manifold you have the CEI system). There are other possibilities, of course, but your description sounds typical of a module or coil problem. Cheers DD |
