1984 Jaguar XJ6.
Ran when I bought it, and on the drive home, it stalled and eventually wouldn't start again.
Got it home, looked it over, and found nothing that wasn't a problem before.
Tested so far: Each plug wire gives spark, each injector is getting pulse from the harness. Nothing looks disconnected or disturbed. The engine cranks, but just refuses to fire. The inertia cutoff switch is down, working fine. The entire fuel circuit is well, DVOM and procedure tested.
I have an original Jaguar Service Manual, as well as a Haynes manual and AllData access. I plan to check compression and spark plug condition soon, and I have a new coolant temperature sensor and ari-flow meter on the way from Reboticon sometime soon here.
Here's something I found in my look over:
A loose plug down by the power steering pump. I traced it through it's harness, and came up here:
That little red circular thing mounted to the front there. I unplugged the connector and did a quick continuity test between the terminals there and my mystery plug:
A-yup. They connect. My question, wtf is that red thing, is it my problem, and where oh where does my mystery plug go?
Apologies for the picture quality. A friend has borrowed my camera so I had to use my cell phone.
Today, I took off the intake system, and behind the throttle plate I was attempting to clean, I found GAS! A HUGE pool of liquid gas!!
How?! I know the pistons are getting gas because I can smell fumes out the tail pipes... help?
