check relays usually under the hood on that model

the radio may have been removed or lost power to the internal battery. you may need to contact Jaguar to get an unlock proceedure for it and possibly an unlock code as well.

Just go under the seat and unplug it

What are the torque specs for ? , I need more info to give you an answer. There are hundreds of torque answers for a car like the jaguar xj8 are we talking motor bolts or power torque ? The motor on a naturally aspirated is 290 ft.pds.

relay is under the hood next to the battery.

I would not use anything more than say 10psi of pressure. I doubt using air pressure will fix the clog if that is the problem, because the pump uses 10-20 psi in normal use. You may have to disconnect the nozzles and use a pin to clean out the ports or find the clog in the main line.

First check to see if you have enough washer fluid in the reservoir. Then check to see if the rubber tubing is kinked or pinched when you close the hood. It is possible but not likely to be plugged up, except during the winter. The spray nozzles could be plugged up, because the opening is much smaller than the tubing. Even though the pump is operating, does not mean that it is actually pumping any fluid. The pump assembly is electrical and mechanical. The electric motor runs, but the pumping mechanism could be defective. If you use compressed air to clean out the rubber tubing, make sure the rubber hose is not connected up to the pump assembly. It might get damaged from too much pressure.

Hi there:DTC P1386 - VARIABLE CAM TIMING OVERADVANCEDPossible Causes:- Bank 2 VVT solenoid valve to PCM PWM drive circuit fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator oil supply fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator stuck.The biggest issues with vvts are oil supply issues. Useally debris like oil sludge in oil pickup screen, loose bearing clearances as an engine wears, and oil passages blocked/partially blocked to and in vvts. The first (i always shoot for cheapest potential likely fix) use a good engine flush(2 bottle for our higher than normal capacity engines) follow directions on bottle. Change oil and switch to a 20-50w. Leave out 1 quart and add 1 qt auto ****** atf(highly detergent, more so than engine oil and wont hurt anything) while you have overly ******** cam codes, it may be an issue of apply and blockage that keeps pressure in vvts too long when supposed to release. Most times its ******** cams( like the 1 i am doing right now....try this first and go from there, rememebr to clears codes and give time, you may have to clear codes a few times as it may continue to reset. DTC P1396 - VVT Solenoid Malfunction - (B bank)Check HERE a TSB about this faylkt code.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

90 amps.

Low fuel pressure

Hi

More likely to be a bent mast.

Undo the mast lock ring, and switch on radio.

Good Luck !

A FixYa would be Nice...Thank´s ......John.

Try some staring fluid or a few tablespoons of fuel in the intake manifold at the throttle body.
If the car starts and runs for a few seconds, the fuel delivery has a problem ( like a fuel pump or clogged fuel injector).

If it doesn't start up immediately, then it's a possible spark delivery problem.

That should narrow things down a bit.
