[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Hot starting problem, the final catch 22
Message text written by Tom Wagner (guru of old stuff) >When hot the fuel pump does not start till the engine fires, the manual says that is to prevent overloading if there is a stuck injector.< I will never cease to be amazed at the antics of some Jaguar designers. I am of course entirely ignorant of the ins and outs of the SIII or indeed any other six, but I do find this more than a little strange - my SII V12s never have the slightest trouble with "stuck injectors" - but one thing they double do need is to run the fuel pump for well over half a minute before hot starting, to drive the vapour lock out of the injection rails and get some petrol to the injectors (except on cold winter days). - Jan
