Crank but No Start Checklist Jaguar XK8 GV31 / XKR (X100)

[@roblynch8713]

Thank you 🙌 I drove my 2002 XK8 50 miles. I was driving it for about two weeks straight (after it sitting for awhile) I was buying a new daily went to a dealership and made a funny comment saying …my jaguar is going to get jealous) .” I go out and it doesn’t start it kind of sputters and dies…sputters and dies. I Wait three hours for a tow home, let it sit for a week, I go to start it and it just cranks… went through your steps. I think it was the inertia switch reset that did it. thank you so much. This video series is a godsend. 10:51

Rob, glad the video helped. These Jaguar can easily get jealous and throw little tantrums. Nothing you can't handle together with the support of the X100 community. Lots of help out there. Thanks for sharing your experience, regards Damian

[@UdoIBress]

Thanks for all your tips. I hope that my car will start in 1. march. After 4 months of hibernation. ; )

Hi, how I can discounted the engine light on the dashboard for xkr 2002 what fuse is responsible for this ?

[@ODRModurol]

@AY.Classic, the engine light is controlled by the ECU and dashboard via CANBUS (Controller Area Network). There isn't a direct wire or fuse just for the check engine light. If you are interested in the wiring diagrams these are available at our website www.modurol.co.uk . Link at the bottom. Hope that answers your question, regards Damian drive.google.com/file/d/1c_yAPo4Db3w4_cFqIX0OhylaGEbuFGCZ/view

The crankshaft sensor not so easy to get out... any removal tips? Install tips?

[@ODRModurol]

Mr Everything, Once the retaining bolt is removed it will be being held inside the location hole with corrosion. Try adding lubricant and gently twisting. Good luck, regards Damian

I have a problem with the power steering on my XK8. Basically it has stopped working suddenly. There are no leaks of the steering fluid, no squeaks from the pump, the serpentine belt doesn't appear to be slack, the reservoir is still full. So I'm perplexed as to what has failed. Do you have any idea what could have caused this failure ?

[@ODRModurol]

@paulcharlesworth319, If the power steering has stopped suddenly it's probably an internal seal failure. However, there is a fluid filter in the bottom of the power steering fluid tank. It's quite common on a lot of cars that these filters can clog and restrict fluid flow. This causes the power steering gradually stop working properly due to fluid starvation. Might want to check the filter. Hope that helps, regards Damian

[@paulcharlesworth319]

@@ODRModurol thankyou for your advice, I will have a look at the filter if it's not too difficult to get at. Paul.

[@ODRModurol]

Paul, unfortunately, its permanently fixed in the bottom of the fluid tank. Non serviceable item without buying a new tank, regards Damian

[@ODRModurol]

Andy, Apologies, you are quite correct, door lock disables the alarm and ignition the immobiliser. Thanks for the correction, regards Damian

How does one crack the security on X100 4,2L SC engine ECU to start engine please?

[@ODRModurol]

Glenn, not sure to be honest. Think it’s a dealer software job to recode the car to keys etc. unless someone has some software of their own. There are transponders in the keys and a transponder ring around the lock barrel. The ring has to see the key to allow the car to start. Sorry can’t be more helpful, regards Damian

[@CarlitosIván-m5f]

I have problems with my 1999 xk8 with acceleration and maf sensors or trolley sensor where can I buy them

[@ODRModurol]

Carlitos, need to confirm part numbers first. Take a look at this video for how to find them, link below, regards Damian kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2i0q4t7o9ODrc0

[@carstart69]

Hi, do you know if after I manually reset the inertia switch I have to clear any (potentially) stored codes? I am asking because I don't have access to a scan tool. Thank you.

[@ODRModurol]

CarStart, no reseting the inertia switch should not require the clearing of any codes. Hope that helps regards Damian

@@ODRModurol ,thank you so much for your fast response, helps a lot!

[@ODRModurol]

CarStart, no problem good luck, regards Damian

[@heathersgreeneyes]

Can u please elaborate on the inertia switch. When I pressed it, it pressed down with a click. I tried to put the key in, then turned it to position 2 for a couple seconds but didn’t fix my issue. I thought maybe I did it wrong and tried again but when I pushed the inertia switch again, it depressed but without a click. I tried holding it down for a few seconds while going thru the steps with the key.. still didn’t fix it. The car worked just fine one day and then crank but no start the next day.

[@ODRModurol]

heathersgreeneyes, I believe the inertia switch only clicks once to reset. It then needs to be triggered before being reset again, that's the assumption anyway. If it hasn't fixed the issue probably best to look at the next item on the list. Sorry I cant be more helpful. Hope you get the car started, regards Damian

[@heathersgreeneyes]

Do you by chance know the reset procedure for the car is after you have reset the inertia switch?

@@h7pubg my issue ended up being a sort of domino issue. One thing caused another and another sort of thing. What issue are you having specifically?

[@AIRMANBEAR]

could be a wet connector to the ecu too?????????

[@ODRModurol]

Airman Bear, Could be but why is water getting anywhere near the ECU. Are the windscreen/scuttle drains blocked or not in position. regards Damian

[@ODRModurol]

Airman Bear, thought you might have blocked drains so made this video with your concern in mind. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joavf32nosugrLM. Thanks for the idea and hope you get your car sorted out, regards Damian

[@AIRMANBEAR]

ILL TRY A HAIR DRYER ON THE ECM FIRST ?

[@ODRModurol]

Airman Bear, the ECM is supposed to be in a fully sealed box but anything’s worth a try. If you find the problem please let us know, regards Damian

[@mikeyboy6895]

my 2000 xkr suddenly went into limp mode then completely shut down it would crank over but wouldn't start, thanks to your video i managed to to find that the 10 amp fuse was blown near the ECM module i replaced it the car started and ran for about 10 seconds and blew the fuse again any ideas it was running perfectly before this any ideas

[@ODRModurol]

Mikeyboy68, sorry haven't had any direct experience of the ECM fuse blowing. Might be a short in the wiring somewhere or a problem with the ECM itself. These can be repaired and are easier that fitting a new one as needs to be linked to the car etc. Sorry, I can't be more helpful, regards Damian

[@mikeyboy6895]

@@ODRModurol Thank you i am hoping its just a short it was running perfectly then suddenly went into limp mode and then stopped

[@ODRModurol]

@Mikeyboy88, hope it’s something simple. Please let us know what the issue was when you get it resolved. Good luck, regards Damian

[@AIRMANBEAR]

WHERE IS THE ECM //? IT WILL NOT START ON WET RAINY DAYS

[@ODRModurol]

Airman Bear, the ECM is under front scuttle and plastic cover near the bulk head. If RHD is in the LHS and if LHD it’s in the RHS. Pull off the cover and it should be there next to a small fuse next. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment regards Damian

[@AIRMANBEAR]

@@ODRModurol IS IT EFFECTED BY MOISTURE LIKE SOME BRIT CARS?????????

[@ODRModurol]

Airman Bear, not normally effective by moisture. Do you have an vent bonnet eg XKR because if so water can fall out the engine. Spark plug cover seals can fail and allow water in. Hope that helps, regards Damian

[@garyvanremortel5218]

Just find the notched corner of the fuse box and F1 is adjacent.
