This vacuum line connects t
Hi,
i have mutiple issues with my xj series 3 V12s Lucas ignition m/y 1987.
main issue, right bank not firing.
What I found is a disconnected vacuum line, where does I connect to?
don’t expect it to solve the main issue, it’s a first step.
help much appreciated!

Doug,
Thanks for for the reply. Will try it tomorrow. It’s 01:44 in the Netherlands.
In regard to the bank, all injectors are clicking so I think they work.
what I just found when changing the fuel filter Could he the related to the problem.
the fuel from the filter looked like choclatemilk must be quite some rust in the tanks and probably in the rest of the fuel system.

Aye!!!
Dirty fuel and injectors are not good. I can surmise that while the injectors click and try to inject, the nozzles are clogged and no spray occurs. but, why only on one bank???
I lean to Doug's diagnosis.
But just perhaps, both may be present.
In any case, clean fuel is a must....
Oh, a loos hose can cause a fast idle. Might be good here. keep it running, only on 6 of it's 12... Naah, connect it or plug it... I only suggest the latter in the possibility that the bellows leaks. A possible third issue.

OK, good that all injectors are clicking but obviously you have some work ahead of you on the fuel system, flushing and cleaning....which might involve removing the tanks and possibly replacing them if they are too rusty to be cleaned.
I agree with Carl that some of the injectors might be clogged but why only one bank is certainly odd.
My gut feeling at this point is the injectors will have to come out for cleaning. You'll want to clean all 12, not just the 6 that are in question
Cheers
