Default 1990 jaguar vanden plas, starts but wont stay running...

my 1990 jaguar vanden plas starts but wont stay running. it starts and runs for approximetly 5 seconds then shuts off. i have replaced many of the suspect parts and can't nail down the problem. replaced the battery, ignition amplifier, spark plug wires, altenator, crankshaft sensor, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator. the car is showing good pressure on the fuel pressure gauge at the fuel rail. the engine's compression is good. swapped around the relays. VCM is not putting out any codes. was running perfect, then shut off and have not been able to get it going again. any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks...

Welcome to the forum 1990 black cat,

Sorry to hear about the non-start issue. I'd have voted for CPS when I read the title but you've already eliminated that.

Follow this link XJ40 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XJ40 section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the US Western Region by following this link Europe Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
