Wont start hi i have a jaguar xtype 2.5ltr v6 petrol engine (dont know if it matters) but when i turn the ignition some lights come up and then turn it onto III it clicks then trys to lock the doors i know its the immobiliser but i dont know how to disarm it can you help please???

Any fault codes is the check engine light on? Is the fuel pressure ok under load?

the s type and x type v6 petrol engines are basicly the same so i dont see any reason that they should not interchangable,

This may be a silly question but have you checked your fuel filter?
If not it may be worth a check or a change in any case (they only cost about a tenner) I'm pritty certain it is the same filter for all XType petrol Jaguar part number C2S20906 but have your local components supplier check against your VIN.
The filter is located under the car at the rear RH side door about 8-10 inches in forward of the fuel tank.

You will see a large black or silver unit with a greeny/blue buttons.
The connectors are push fit just squeeze the two blue buttons together and pull the fuel line off, on the other squeeze the grey buttons and pull the fuel line off. When replacing ensure that you note the direction of flow on the filter and fit accordingly. Once refitted switch the ignition to position 2 but do not start the engine. Wait 10 secs then turn off. Repeat this once or twice.

You has an air leak AFTER the mass air flow sensor.

Check the air inlet tube for cracks and loose hose between MAF and intake manifold.

Hello Michaelatkin :

Is this jaguar US based as far as specifications ?

US-Based with engine running and Timing light on is 20 degrees "BTDC " at 1700 RPM .

US-Based " TDC " at 650 RPM with engine running and Timing light on .

US-Based " STATIC TIMING " ENGINE OFF = 10 degrees " BTDC "

I hope that this info has been helpful to you .

Hi

I see you posted this in Nov O8 and expect you might be OK.

If not you might try this.

Try disconnecting the battery + & - terminals.

Turn the ignition key several times to erase the computers memory.

Reconect the battery + terminal then - and start the car.

Your fault code, will hopefully not return.

Hope this is of help.

Good Luck !

John.

When I went outside to start my Jaguar X-Type it was cold outside. I was in a hurry and didn't let the car warm up properly. It jumped a bit then the check engine light came on along with a message that said No cruise control. The no cruise light came off but my check engine light is still on. Any suggestions as to what it may be?

Inertia switch located on the passengers side (under the dash). You may need to remove a small door to get access to it. If you have not been in an accident, then it was probably tripped accidentally. Simply press the button, and it will reset. This should get your car running again. Good Luck!
