Help! 1998 XJR won’t tickover and is lumpy
Hi Guys,
i have a 1998 XKR that’s been stood up some time. I just replaced fuel pumps as they were not operating and on starting the car it will not tickover, justcoughs splutters and dies. When you rev it it you have to pump the throttle and once over 2000rpm it will quite happily hold this and is smooth.
Is this typical of anything specific, these old girls are complex!! I am not getting any fault codes recorded but also my fault code reader will not connect despite having the Jaguar Landrover files.
Help, I need to get her back on the road soon
cheers
Tom

Take a look at the idle air control system. I'm not specifically familiar on your cars set up, but, on my 4.6 Mustang when it went bad the car would fire up, but quit running immediately. The IAC is what lets the motor idle properly. Good Luck, I thought that I'd just throw out that tidbit. Now to see if I can diagnose my ailing XJS!
