1997 JAGUAR XJ6 fuel pump

special electrical device that provides circuit
protection by switching off the ignition and
fuel pump upon impact in the event of vehicle
collision. Later Jaguar models are equipped
with an additional specialised inertia switch.
This later device switches OFF all ignition fed
circuits, locks the fuel filler cap, locks the boot
(only if doors are locked) and unlocks the
doors if they are locked during the accident.
All these functions are directed by the inertia
switch. The inertia switch is located behind
the left kick panel. Refer to Chapter 12 for
more information.
Exhaust system
The exhaust system includes an exhaust
manifold equipped with an exhaust oxygen
sensor, a catalytic converter, an exhaust pipe,
and a silencer.
The catalytic converter is an emission
control device added to the exhaust system to
reduce pollutants. A single-bed converter is
used in combination with a three-way
(reduction) catalyst. See Chapter 6 for more
information regarding the catalytic converter.

Warning: Petrol is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system.
Don’t smoke or allow open flames or bare
light bulbs near the work area, and don’t
work in a garage where a natural gas-type
appliance (such as a water heater or a
clothes dryer) with a pilot light is present.
Since petrol is carcinogenic, wear latex
gloves when there’s a possibility of being
exposed to fuel, and, if you spill any fuel on
your skin, rinse it off immediately with soap
and water. Mop up any spills immediately
and do not store fuel-soaked rags wherethey could ignite. The fuel system is under
constant pressure, so, if any fuel lines are
to be disconnected, the fuel pressure in
the system must be relieved first. When
you perform any kind of work on the fuel
system, wear safety glasses and have a
Class B type fire extinguisher on hand.
1Before servicing any fuel system
component, you must relieve the fuel pressure
to minimise the risk of fire or personal injury.
2Remove the fuel filler cap - this will relieve
any pressure built up in the tank.
3Remove the fuel pump relay from the main
relay panel (see illustrations). Note:These
models are equipped with a fuel pump relay
that is located in various areas of the vehicle
depending on the year. On 1988 and 1989
models, the fuel pump relay is under the
glovebox. On 1990 to 1992 models, the fuel
pump relay is in the engine compartment on
the left side, attached to the brake pedal
hanger. On 1993 models, the fuel pump relay
is in the boot. On 1994 models, it’s in the
engine compartment on the right side of the
bulkhead. Refer to the relay location charts in
Chapter 12 for additional information.
4Start the engine and wait for the engine to
stall, then turn the ignition key to Off.
Disconnect the cable from the negativeterminal of the battery before beginning any
work on the fuel system.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
5The fuel system is now depressurised.
Note:Place a rag around the fuel line before
removing any hose clamp or fitting to prevent
any residual fuel from spilling onto the engine.
3 Fuel pump/fuel pressure-
check
2
Warning: Petrol is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system. See
the Warning in Section 2.
Note: To perform the fuel pressure test, you
will need to obtain a fuel pressure gauge and
adapter set (fuel line fittings).
Note: On 1988 to 1990 models, the fuel pump
may chatter excessively and the engine may
stall frequently during hot weather. If stalling
occurs, the engine will restart after a cool-
down period. Dual fuel pumps can be installed
by a dealer service department or other
qualified repair facility to remedy this problem.
Preliminary inspection
1Should the fuel system fail to deliver the
proper amount of fuel, or any fuel at all,
inspect it as follows. Remove the fuel filler
cap. Have an assistant turn the ignition key to
the ON position (engine not running) while you
listen at the fuel filler opening. You should
hear a whirring sound that lasts for a couple of
seconds. On 1988 to 1990 models, listen
behind the left rear wheel (external fuel pump)
for the fuel pump sound.
2If you don’t hear anything, check the fuel
pump relay (see illustration 2.3a, b or c)and
4•2 Fuel and exhaust systems
2.3c On 1992 models, the fuel pump relay
is located in the left rear corner of the
engine compartment

circuit. If all circuits are intact and not
damaged, check the inertia switch. Note: The
inertia switch is a special device that shuts
down power to the ignition and the fuel pump
in the event of an accident. See Chapter 12 for
checking and resetting procedures for the
inertia switch.
3Remove the relay and check for battery
voltage to the fuel pump relay connector (see
illustration). If there is battery voltage
present, check the relay for proper operation.
Refer to the relay checking procedure in
Chapter 12. Note:If battery voltage is not
available, check for battery voltage to the main
relay(see illustration). Refer to the relay
location diagrams in Chapter 12. The main
relay, which is located next to the fuel pump
relay, supplies voltage to the fuel pump and
ignition system.
4If battery voltage is present, check for
battery voltage directly at the fuel pump
electrical connector (see illustrations), within
two seconds of the ignition key being turned
On. If there is no voltage, check the fuel pump
circuit. If there is voltage present, renew the
pump (see Section 4). Note:It will be
necessary to raise the vehicle and support it
securely on axle stands to gain access to the
fuel pump electrical connectors. Have an
assistant operate the ignition key and be sure
to block the front wheels to avoid any
movement of the vehicle.
Operating pressure check
5Relieve the fuel system pressure (see
Section 2). Detach the cable from the negative
battery terminal.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
6Detach the fuel line from the fuel rail and
connect a fuel pressure gauge(see
illustrations)between the fuel pulsationdamper and the fuel rail. Tighten the hose
clamps securely.
7Attach the cable to the negative battery
terminal. Start the engine.
8Note the fuel pressure and compare it with
the pressure listed in this Chapter’s
Specifications.
9Disconnect the vacuum hose from the fuelpressure regulator and hook up a hand-held
vacuum pump (see illustration)to the port on
the fuel pressure regulator.
10Read the fuel pressure gauge with vacuum
applied to the pressure regulator and also with
no vacuum applied. The fuel pressure should
decrease as vacuum increases (and increase
as vacuum decreases).

11Reconnect the vacuum hose to the
regulator and check the fuel pressure at idle,
comparing your reading with the value listed
in this Chapter’s Specifications. Disconnect
the vacuum hose and watch the gauge - the
pressure should jump up considerably as
soon as the hose is disconnected. If it
doesn’t, check for a vacuum signal to the fuel
pressure regulator (see Step 14).
12If the fuel pressure is low, pinch the fuel
return line shut (see illustration)and watch
the gauge. If the pressure doesn’t rise, the
fuel pump is defective or there is a restriction
or leak in the fuel feed line, or the pump is
faulty. If the pressure rises sharply, renew the
pressure regulator.
13If the fuel pressure is too high, turn the
engine off. Disconnect the fuel return line and
blow through it to check for a blockage. If
there is no blockage, renew the fuel pressure
regulator.
14Connect a vacuum gauge to the pressure
regulator vacuum hose. Start the engine and
check for vacuum (see illustration). The fuel
pressure regulator receives manifold vacuum
that decreases (increases fuel pressure) when
the engine speed is raised (acceleration). If
there isn’t vacuum present, check for a
clogged hose or vacuum port. If the amount ofvacuum is adequate but the pressure is too
high, renew the fuel pressure regulator.
15Turn the ignition switch to OFF, wait five
minutes and recheck the pressure on the
gauge. Compare the reading with the
specified hold pressure. If the hold pressure is
less than specified:
a) The fuel lines may be leaking.
b) The fuel pressure regulator may be
allowing the fuel pressure to bleed
through to the return line.
c) A fuel injector (or injectors) may be
leaking.
d) The fuel pump may be defective.

removal and refitting
3
Warning: Petrol is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system. See
the Warning in Section 2.
Note 1:On early models (1988 to 1990), an
electric fuel pump is attached to the chassis
next to the fuel tank. On later models (1991 to
1994), the fuel pump is inside the fuel tank.
Note 2: On 1988 to 1990 models, the fuel
pump may chatter excessively and the engine
may stall frequently during hot weather. If
stalling occurs, the engine will restart after a
cool-down period. Dual fuel pumps can be
installed by a dealer service department or

5 Fuel level sender unit- check
and renewal
3
Warning: Petrol is highly
flammable, so take precautions
when you work on any part of
the fuel system. See the
Warning in Section 2.
Note:Some 1994 models may be equipped
with faulty fuel level sender units. A tight float
rod bushing may cause the float to stick and
indicate high fuel levels while the tank is
almost empty.
Check
1Before performing any tests on the fuel
level sender unit, completely fill the tank with
fuel.
2Remove the boot liner (see Chapter 12) to
expose the fuel level sender unit access
cover.
3Disconnect the fuel level sender unit
electrical connector located on the accesscover.Note:1991 to 1994 models are
equipped with a fuel pump module and a
sender unit assembly while 1988 and 1989
models are equipped with only the fuel level
sender unit inside the tank.
4Position the ohmmeter probes on the
electrical connector terminals (see
illustration)and check for resistance. Use the
200 ohm scale on the ohmmeter.
5With the fuel tank completely full, the
resistance should be about 18 to 20 ohms.
6Reconnect the electrical connector and
drive it until the tank is nearly empty.
7Check the resistance. The resistance of the
sender unit should be about 190 to 200 ohms.8If the readings are incorrect, renew the
sender unit. Note:The test can also be
performed with the fuel level sender unit
removed from the fuel tank. Using an
ohmmeter, check the resistance of the sender
unit with the swing arm completely down (tank
empty) and with the arm up (tank full) (see
illustration). The resistance should change
steadily from 200 ohms to around 18 ohms.

tank completely before attempting this
procedure (Section 7, paragraph 1).
9Disconnect the cable from the negative
terminal of the battery. Disconnect the fuel level
sender unit/fuel pump electrical connector.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
10Using a brass punch, tap on the lock ring
anti-clockwise (see illustration)until the tabs
align with the indentations in the fuel tank.

6 Fuel lines and fittings-
inspection and renewal
2
Warning: Petrol is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work on
any part of the fuel system. See
the Warning in Section 2.
Note:If there is a distinct knocking noise
coming from the dash when the engine is
idling, the fuel feed hose may have hardened,
restricting fuel flow and causing abnormal
sounds. Replace the fuel inlet (feed) hose with
a new one.
Inspection
1Once in a while, you will have to raise the
vehicle to service or renew some component
(an exhaust pipe hanger, for example).
Whenever you work under the vehicle, always
inspect fuel lines and all fittings and
connections for damage or deterioration.
2Check all hoses and pipes for cracks, kinks,
deformation or obstructions.
3Make sure all hoses and pipe clips attach
their associated hoses or pipes securely to
the underside of the vehicle.4Verify all hose clamps attaching rubber
hoses to metal fuel lines or pipes are a tight fit
between the hoses and pipes.
Renewal
5If you must renew any damaged sections,
use hoses or pipes constructed from exactly
the same material as the section you are
replacing. Do not refit substitutes constructed
from inferior or inappropriate material or you
could cause a fuel leak or a fire.
6Always, before detaching or disassembling
any part of the fuel line system, note the
routing of all hoses and pipes and the
orientation of all clamps and clips to assure
that new sections are identically installed.
7Before detaching any part of the fuel
system, be sure to relieve the pressure in the
tank by removing the fuel tank cap, then
relieve the fuel system pressure (Section 2).
Cover the fitting being disconnected with a
rag to absorb any fuel that may leak out.

Warning: Petrol is extremely
flammable, so take extra
precautions when you work onany part of the fuel system. See the
Warning in Section 2.
1This procedure is much easier to perform if
the fuel tank is empty. Some models may have
a drain plug for this purpose. If for some reason
the drain plug can’t be removed, postpone the
job until the tank is empty or siphon the fuel
into an approved container using a siphoning
kit (available at most motor factors).
Warning: Do not start the
siphoning action by mouth!
2Remove the fuel filler cap to relieve fuel
tank pressure.
3Detach the battery negative cable.
Caution: If the stereo in your vehicle is
equipped with an anti-theft system, make
sure you have the correct activation code
before disconnecting the battery.
4If the tank is full or nearly full, drain the fuel
into an approved container.
5Raise the vehicle and place it securely on
axle stands.
6Remove the filler neck vent tube clamp (see
illustration)and separate the tube from the
fuel filler neck.
7Remove the fuel filler assembly bolts (see
illustration)and slide the large rubber boot
down the neck of the fuel tank. Note:These
vehicles are susceptible to clogging of the fuel
overflow line. If this happens, excess fuel or

11 Electronic Fuel Injection
(EFI) system-
general information
1These models are equipped with an
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system. This fuel
injection system is designed by Bosch butlicensed by Lucas and is called the Lucas LH
Engine Management system. The EFI system
is composed of three basic sub systems: fuel
system, air induction system and electronic
control system (see illustration).
Fuel system
2An electric fuel pump is located on the
chassis of the rear suspension (external) (1988
to 1990) or inside the fuel tank (1991 to 1994)
The fuel pump supplies fuel under constant
pressure to the fuel rail, which distributes fuel
evenly to all injectors. From the fuel rail, fuel is
injected into the intake ports, just above the
intake valves, by fuel injectors. The amount of
fuel supplied by the injectors is precisely
controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
A pressure regulator controls system pressure
in relation to intake manifold vacuum. A fuel
filter between the fuel pump and the fuel rail
filters fuel to protect the components of the
system.
Air induction system
3The air system consists of an air filter
housing, a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
(airflow meter), Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
sensor and a throttle body. The MAF sensor is
an information gathering device for the ECU.A heated element determines the temperature
differential by measuring the current changes
which in turn measures the mass (weight and
volume) of air entering the engine. This
information helps the ECU determine the
amount of fuel to be injected by the injectors.
The throttle plate inside the throttle body is
controlled by the driver. As the throttle plate
opens, the amount of air that can pass
through the system increases, so the
potentiometer opens further and the ECU
signals the injectors to increase the amount of
fuel delivered to the intake ports. Refer to
Chapter 6 for additional information on the
fuel injection system sensors, test procedures
and renewal procedures.
Electronic control system
4The Computer Control System controls the
EFI and other systems by means of an
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which employs
a microcomputer. The ECU receives signals
from a number of information sensors which
monitor such variables as intake air volume,
intake air temperature, coolant temperature,
engine rpm, acceleration/deceleration and
exhaust oxygen content. These signals help
the ECU determine the injection duration
necessary for the optimum air/fuel ratio. Some

ignition system, see Chapter 6.
12 Electronic Fuel Injection
(EFI) system- check
2
1Check the earth wire connections for
tightness. Check all wiring and electrical
connectors that are related to the system.
Loose electrical connectors and poor grounds
can cause many problems that resemble
more serious malfunctions.
2Check to see that the battery is fully
charged, as the control unit and sensors
depend on an accurate supply voltage in
order to properly meter the fuel.
3Check the air filter element - a dirty or
partially blocked filter will severely impede
performance and economy (see Chapter 1).
4If a blown fuse is found, renew it and see if
it blows again. If it does, search for a shorted
wire in the harness related to the system.
5Check the air intake duct from the MAF
sensor to the intake manifold for leaks, which
will result in an excessively lean mixture. Also
check the condition of the vacuum hoses
connected to the intake manifold.
6Remove the air intake duct from the throttle
body and check for carbon and residue build-
up. If it’s dirty, clean with aerosol carburettor
cleaner (make sure the can says it’s safe for
use with oxygen sensors and catalytic
converters) and a toothbrush.
7With the engine running, place a
stethoscope against each injector, one at a
time, and listen for a clicking sound, indicating
operation (see illustration).8If there is a problem with an injector,
purchase a special injector test light (noid
light) and refit it into the injector electrical
connector (see illustration). Start the engine
and make sure that each injector connector
flashes the noid light. This will test for the
proper voltage signal to the injector.Caution:
If the engine will not start and the noid
light indicates that each injector is
receiving the proper signal, there is a good
possibility that the injector(s) is stuck open
and allowing fuel into the combustion
chamber in excessive amounts. If the spark
plugs are fouled, detach the primary (low
voltage) wires from the ignition coil, disable
the fuel pump by removing the fuel pump
relay (see Section 2), remove the spark plugs
and crank the engine over. If fuel sprays from
the spark plug holes, the engine is flooded
and the fuel must be removed from the
combustion chambers.
9With the engine OFF and the fuel injector
electrical connectors disconnected, measure
the resistance of each injector (see
illustration). Each injector should measure
about 2.0 to 3.0 ohms. If not, the injector is
probably faulty.10The remainder of the system checks
should be left to a Jaguar service department
or other qualified repair workshop, as there is
a chance that the control unit may be
damaged if not performed properly.

and there are no leaks before using the car.
Supplementary air valve
Check
48The supplementary air valve provides
additional throttle valve bypass air during cold
starting and cold running conditions below
15° F. This output actuator is controlled by the
computer (ECU) in response to informationreceived from the coolant temperature sensor,
intake air temperature sensor and other
information sensors working with the fuel
injection system.
49Check for battery voltage to the
supplementary air valve. With the engine cold,
backprobe the electrical connector using a
long pin and check for battery voltage (see
illustration). Voltage should exist.
50Because of the special tools required to
test the supplementary air valve, have it
tested by a dealer service department or other
qualified repair facility.
