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.

Is a possibility that it could be flooded out

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