This is usually a fuel injection issue with these vehicles. (i.e. ''The pressure won't be the problem''). They have problems with fuel related vacuum parts and the injectors themselves. The higher the mileage, the higher the likelihood of _both_ issues. // Note: Since the coil(s) are also known to go bad, you might check that first. The reason I mention it is because before vacuum and injectors ''give out'' they ''act up'' first. You should have had rough running engine problems before total failure. For that reason, check coil(s). Some Jaguar engines have two ''coil packs''. They _do_ drop dead. If you have two, one bad one is enough to stop it from starting. (i.e. ''check for spark on _all_ cylinders'').
Likely, it is fuel contamination caused by use of ethanol blend fuels over time. I'd recommend replacing all fuel in the system with new (preferably non-ethanol fuel if available). If you must use ethanol blend fuel, add WATER REMOVER additive monthly.
Also, replace the fuel filter and check the operation of the fuel pressure regulator.
I would start with all the fuses. Yes this seems like a simple and pointless thing to do but I have a 2002 S type Jaguar and my issue was a fuse in the trunk panel I did not even know existed. You should have 3 fuse boxes. Check all the fuel related fuses first then you can go from there. Also if you have replaced a fuel pump recently pull it out and set it back in the fuel tank. It may not be put in correctly therefore blocking the sock on the pump and not being able to pull fuel. your fuel pump will only fit perfectly only one way. These are simple fixes but most the time that is what it is
Get the car scanned and see what fault codes appear. Coil packs often fail causing power loss. It doesn't explain the fuel smell but to be safe check there are no leaks in the fuel system/pipes. The system is under a lot of pressure so a leak should be obvious, when was the fuel filter last changed?
this code shows fuel rail pressure high. Could be many reasons for this from blocked or failing injectors to pressure regulation.Check all connections to electrical plugs and sockets to ensure no faulty signals. Only option after this is a good repair shop to check actions of injectors / regulators / pump.
check if the input side of the fuel pump has a restriction . a perished rubber hose can be a problem , the pump should be able reach a pressure 35 psi + and a flow of a quart every 30 seconds at this pressure.
SOUND LIKE FUEL PUMP NOT WORKING.TURN ON IGNITION SWITCH LISTEN FOR FUEL PUMP NOISE.SEE IF PUMP RUNNING IN FUEL TANK.IF NOT CHECK FUEL PUMP FUSE AND RELAY.IF ALL IS GOOD FUEL PUMP FAULTY.HAVE CAR CODE SCAN FOR FAULTY PCM AND ECM WHICH CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
1) jack-up left front of car (drivers-side)and remove wheel.
2) Remove plastic inner fender .
The maintenance schedule is every 12-thousand miles.
Caution prior to removing fuel filter-
Pull the fuel pump relay or fuse while engine is running, this will
disable the electric fuel pump and release fuel pressure in line.
