I have a big problem with starting and running my 1997 XJ6 3.2 sport. Be grateful if anyone can give me a few diagnostic pointers as like some of you I don't want to pay for a garage to change multiple parts until they find the problem.
The engine appears to be firing but immediately flooding when I attempt to start. Removing the fuel pump fuse can usually get me started after a lot of cranking but it then runs like a dog at low revs and cuts out again. It seems to run smoothly enough when I get up the rev range a bit but misfires and stops when I lift off the pedal. My "Check Engine" light is on before I start but goes off while cranking or running. Another weird symptom is that the cooling fan starts up immediately even if the car has been stood for a couple of days.
Appreciate any info or similar experience even if it is a horror story.
