Angry starting issues plz help

symptom: tuning over wont start

already check:
fuel pump
the spark plug (only one) it look like it may need to be change but its still had a strong spark
took the battery to (AZ) and they tested and its good

I drove it to work about a hour or 2 later went to leave started it up then it shut right off like it choke out or something.

Solution: took the car to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump and fuel regulator.

Gus put together a non-start troubleshooting sequence. It's on his website:

JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource

Start with reading the codes. This should indicate what the 'something' was that caused it to shut down after starting.

You should read the codes...that may narrow down the problem.
