Cold start hi my 2002 jaguar x type 2.5 takes 2-5 mins to warm up in the morning ,it starts then cuts off about 3 times, then it runs like it is running on 3 cylinders, but when it warms up it runs fine

fuel cut off relay messed up..not energizing..

run the fault codes
check for vacuum leaks on all vacuum hoses
check fuel pressure
use quality injector cleaner

(1)That is the nature of the beast
just have to accelerate slower
(2) take a look at your coolant level
if you are adding coolant on a regular bases
you may have a small blown head gasket.
(3) if you only see white smoke at first starting the engine in may be just cold and
needs to warm up

SOUND LIKE STOP UP FUEL FILTER AND BAD SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.

Had same problem with mine, the reason is too much cold air entering the engine. Replaced intake gaskets upper and lower problem went away and car drives like a charm

Hi, glow plugs does not need changing unless the vehicle struggles to start in the morning or when cold. When testing the glow plugs, they should not take longer then about 5 seconds to become red hot.

The cold start valve is not operating correctly. Either the engine coolant temperature sensor is bad or the cold start valve itself is bad. You can check the engine coolant temperature sensor by going to radio shack or any electronic store and purchase a 15k ohm or higher resistor. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECTS) harness. Bridge the 2 female spade connections in the harness with the resistor. Start the engine. If the engine starts you need to replace the ECTS. If the engine is still hard to start, you need to remove the cold start valve, (wear safety goggles, and whatever you do don't smoke) place the cold start valve in a glass and have someone crank the engine. You should see gas coming out from the cold start valve. If not take a ohm meter and measure the terminal at the cold start valve after disconnecting the wire harness. The meter should read 25 ohms. If it doesn't replace the cold start valve.

Hello
Definitely the battery has a big role in Jaguar cars, as Jaguar cars are very sensitive when it comes to battery.
You never go less than specified , going a little higher is ok but not lower

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?

this is a old model and it should have a cold start valve or it should have a coolant temp sensor, replace the colant temp sensor which is usualy located on the thermostat housing or on the intake manifold and this will sove the clod start problema!!
