    There is fuel pressure and I can hear the pump. The car was in an accident and the transmission locked up and the fuel cutoff switch opened. I fixed the transmission and reset the fuel cutoff switch, but it still won't start. I sprayed some starting fluid into the carburetor and it tried to start then stopped.

    The fuel pump reset switch is located on the passenger side behind the panel in front of where your toes would be.

    Correction: The fuel pump reset switch is behind the passenger side panel to the right of where you put your feet.

Does it have fuel pressure when cyling the ignition key?

Do you hear the fuel pump run briefly?

I doubt you reset anything, unless you were in a terrible
accident.

    First off, there have not been carburators used on any
    vehicle in 25 years

    I assume the trans at least, was done by someone
    other than yourself

    So how was that road tested & how did you get it home,
    to get to where your at?

    If you do not have the factory workshop manuals & the
    powertrain control/emissions diagnosis service manual,
    you simply have no referrence material to learn from &
    use to resolve the cars problems

    We can not guess at what any number of items may be
    at play,as we are at home & use the site exactually as you
    do,& as yourself, have only our personal vehicles,no data base
    or any ties to the web site to help you.

    I say all that, because I would imagine your trying to resolve
    yourself without paying a shop or worse,a dealer

SOURCE: I have a Jaguar XJ8

Yes it does have a cut switch, located on the fire wall in the engine compactment. If you push the black button it will reset it. I don't think it's that . I think you should check the fuse, if good you should leave the key in on position or the # 2 position for 5 minutes so the fuel pump can prime the line.


Good luck

SOURCE: 1999 lincoln fuel pump

My fuel pump on my 1998 Lincoln Continental has no power. I checked the fuse it is good. I checked the fuel shutoff switch it was fine. I have traced the wire from the fuel shutoff switch to the fuel module driver in the trunk. The wire has power. I have also traced the positve wire from the fuel pump to the fuel driver on a different terminal, this wire has no power from the pump. I also changed the fuel driver, the low fuel pressure switch, the alternator, and battery.does anyone have any suggestion's?

How do I reset the inertia switch on a 1999 jaguar xk8

I'm having a similar issue to the one described in this post:

http://www.2carpros.com/questions/jaguar-xj8-1998-jaguar-xj8-car-turns-over-then-stalls

However, I can not find an inertia switch. I have a 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible. Does being a convertible make a difference in this switch's location?
I removed the passenger kick panel and also checked in the fuse box door on the dash at the passenger side. Thank you.

My xj8 Jaguar crank up and sets right back off what all could be wrong

Security is set. Could be one problem. Fuel system can do this, but rarely. Takes a scanner to see where to look first.

Hit pothole real bad no damage to car checked all fuses battery it's self has spark but car is unresponsive when I try to turn it on what do I do now jaguar xk8 convertible 1998

In the 1999 Jaguar xj8 there is a fuel cutoff switch on the passenger side right hand panel to the right of the feet. Reach over the top rear of the small panel and find a soft flexible membrane on the top of the switch and press it until it clicks.if that doesnt work,there is a fuel pump relay in the trunk fusebox that might be the problem. 1998 Jaguar XK8 fuel safety shutoff Bing images

Need to replace fuel pump on a 1999 jaguar xj8. where is the pump located and can u get 2 it through the back seat or do u have to drop the gas tank.

Typically Jaguar fuel pumps are the submerged type (i.e. in the fuel tank) so you will need to remove the fuel tank or there might be a panel in the the tank that you can remove to get the the fuel pump. Good luck.

I ran out of gas and after fueling the car it still wont start dont think its getting any gas. the car is a 2001 jaguar xj8. How or where can i check fuel system?

if you ran completely out of gas you may have harmed the fuel pump,the gas is what keeps the fuel pump bearings lubricated.there is one thing you can try that has work alot of times in my line of work,the pump could just be stuck and you have one chance to get it going again,have a friend try to start your car while you hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a hammer,sometimes this vibration will unlodge the pump

Very noisy squeky fron suspension on jaguar xj8

You might need a lube job or you may need to see if noise is coming from another place such as your engine water pump, brakes, power steering. Look for leaks.
