First time Jag owner no start

I think I will try a new coil

Hi Tony, I got my coil from Welsh Enterprises $36.95 + 14.50 shipping $51.45.

In fact I have two of them. I was having issues with starting (still am) and while trying to get the positive terminal nut loose it broke the plastic it is embedded in so I ordered a new one. I installed it and the car ran fine for about a week then quit. I thought it was the coil gone bad so I had Welsh send me another one and they agreed to take back the first one and would give me credit for it when they received it back. That’s when I discovered it wasn’t the coil. I didn’t have the heart to send back the first one because it wasn’t bad. Joe77 mentioned my post to you earlier, it’s here.

1994 Jaguar VDP No Spark

I have a '94 VDP that started having problems running. On occation it would thke several tries to get it to start. Prior to this the Jag would always start on the first few turns of the engine. At the same time I was having the starting issue, the harmonic balancer was starting to go out. The issue progressed to the point that the Jag would quit running while driving it, mainly when starting off from a stop light, it would just quit as if I turned off the key. I would put it in natural and crank…

Not sure I can be of much help to you given I haven’t been able to get my Jag running for over a month and I have many many hours running diagnostics. My last post #167 shows a trouble shooting matrix that may be helpful to you. I’ll keep an eye on your progress and if I can add any useful information I will be glad to help. Several years ago I was having some fuel pressure issues and made the following modifications to my fuel rail. I soldered a Schrader Valve to the end of the fuel rail, made measuring fuel pressure easy.
