Thanks for the welcome Peter' Just found out our camera does not work, so I will try the mobile to take photos, but I can see the work taking a while as I do the work as and when I can. (wife not in good health so the house work comes first) Then the garden, but it is a hobby car and I just love working on cars, been in the trade all my life working on cars, lorries, buses all types of contractors plant, but its always been my hobby as well as my employment, I've been lucky my grandkids can't under stand when I say I use to love to go to work, wife says I haven't blood in my veins its oil graham79

Hi David as its common to all cylinders, possible fuel pump or fuel pump pressure regulator if the fuel pressure low, you could check with a gauge like I think you have, but you could try clamping the return line off slightly to get your fuel pressure up to your 55psi with say some mole grips and then drive it, could be something as simple as the fuel pressure regulator, if you cant achieve the 55psi with clamping the return hose, it could be the fuel pump it has to be something common to all cylinders, I think there's also a fuel pump ecu, that lowers the voltage to the fuel pump when idling, could be this, some people hot wire the fuel pump to get more power as fuel pressure will be raised, hot wiring is just basically bypassing the ecu/fuel pump control unit, with a ignition supply common fault with running lean is usually air leaks, split hoses, inlet manifold gaskets etc, but you said you have checked this, you could try some easy start around the hoses, inlet manifold area, if theres a leak, it will suck the easy start in and the revs will raise on idle could also be airflow/maff sensor, this also can effect mixture of engine cheers Joe

Hi Dan, and welcome to the Club. It is great to see some younger people getting their hands on S Types. And BRG can look great in the sun when kept nicely washed and polished. I was 79 when I bought my S Type Indigo Blue Pearlescent ---- and I think it keeps me young. If you ever go to the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon near Coventry, you will see an S type in BRG which was actually raced by Jaguar. It is not a 3.0 or 4.2 litre but a 2.7 litre diesel! Great cars! I hope you enjoy your Jaguar and also the Club. Regards, Peter.
