Help, please. I have a 2001 XKR coupe. It has been having trouble starting. this problem has been getting worse for about 6 months. I could turn the ignition on/off two or three times before trying to start. After the the 3 tries it would start, but has been getting worse. Just had the plugs changed, replaced a bad coil. My mechanic is puzzled. He has been doing cars for me for many years and is very knowledgeable about Euro cars and Jags. I put a new air filter in. The last drive the car would stumble when you accelerated above 2500 rpm. Now it just cranks and cranks. I can hear the fuel pump in the tank cycling then stops. I do not know where the front fuel pump is located. My mechanic has a very good scanner and it troughs no codes . Any thoughts or diagnostic hints. Sure sounds like a fuel delivery issue.

 

It sounds like fuel pump failure.

In fact it sounds like both fuel pumps have failed - they are both located in the fuel tank - there is no front fuel pump. You need to test the fuel pressure at the Schrader valve on the fuel rail - there are lots of threads on this in the forum, but start here for your car:-
