Hi , I have some starting problems with my Jaguar XJR -95 sometimes it start directly and some times not ??????
the engin runs but it will not be started, and i have no ignition on the sparkplugg???? Help ! firefox Sweden
 
Is this car a V-12?

If it is, and you have the Marelli type ignition, or similar, check the rear magnetic pick-up that counts the teeth on the flywheel.

The connector will be a two pin connector along the firewall, most likely on the l/h side. Check the connector for corrosion.

The front pickup is used more for after the engine runs. If the cable for the rear pick-up has come into contact with the exhaust, it will burn and short out. The engine will run, but it will not start.

Good luck
 
It´s a 6 cylinder 4.0 L with compressor, but I will try to check the magnetic pic-up to day and hope for the best.

Thanks !
