I have 1999 XJ8
The car was running well. But last week when I started it up the idle was rough.
I turned off the ignition and tried to restart, it wouldn't start.
The engine is cranking at normal speed.
I charged the battery anyway.
Checked for bad fuses and broken or loose wires, none found.
I checked for Fuel pressure at the fuel rail, I have plenty of fuel pressure.
I checked what I believe is the camshaft sensors located at the front of the engine facing up out of the valve covers.
The Left sensor has a 2 volt output when the engine is cranking the sensor on the right has a 5 volt output. Both have good pluses with the exception of the voltage differance.
I've also located two sensors at the rear of each cylinder head but I haven't checked the outputs yet.
I can't locate a crankshaft sensor, does this car have one?
I would appriciate any recomendations on how to proceed.
Thank you!
