have you checked the o2 sensors on your exhaust

The Jaguar chrome strip is magnetic. Simply lift one corner with a sharp object (e.g. wood chisel) and pull it up carefully. This will reveal several Torque screws. Undo the Torque screws and you will be able to complete the job. Good luck.

which fuse box are you refereing to...You have 1 under the hood,then a passenger side kick panel box,and a rear fuse box in the trunk near the spare tire.

I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. My 2000 jaguar set for about 2 weeks and when I tried to start it, the engine turns over but won't fire or start.

i dont think there is a seperate fuse for the fuel gauge the only fuses are for the instrument pack if one of these fails other instrument pack functions would be affected also, the usual cause of fuel gauge problems is the sender unit in the fuel tank it is located behind the trim panel forward edge of boot, or a wiring fault,

This may help:

Happens a lot. Always use the best high octane you can find. Check wire connections to knock sensor (most common cause for 'restricted performance light, sometimes outside temperature plays a part). Then disconnect negative terminal from battery, wait 2 minutes, reconnect. Then take car for a drive in various conditions, like city traffic, highway driving, and more. After several restarts, mine went away. Occasionally comes back, then disapiars. Ignore orange engine light.

if the wires are on the right plug then you could have injector problems. when you changed the plugs did you gap the plugs to specs as if they aren`t then it can cause this problem. you could also have one or more bad ignition wires.

If the key won;'t work, your only other solution is to remove the rear seats. You may be able to reach through the rear seat bulkhead and pull the release catch.

check relays usually under the hood on that model

Just go under the seat and unplug it
