Fuel pump not working

I inhereted a 86 XJ6 Jaguar with some electrical problems. The fuel pump is not charging the system to run the engine. Most other electrical systems seem to work. Is it the fuel pump relay, the ECC, or something else?

I would check the connection at the Fuel Pump to ensure a good connection, I have seen this to be a problem on several of these cars. Also on the passenger side inner fender area there is a cut of switch on a lot of these models it looks like a knob you can turn one way or the other.

Good Luck I hope this works for you.

Testimonial: "I have tested the fuel pump once but will check the connection again. Would you recommend a good, indepth repair manual for the 86? Like chilton's b"

1988 Jaguar XJ6 S-LINE 4.0L V-6

Fuel pump is bad or plugged fuel filter it seems. Crack the line from the filter leading towards the engine first. If gas starts squirting out fast, you have good pressue. If not the filter is plugged or a bad pump. How old is the fuel filter by chance? If original its plugged up by now
