I have the exact same symptom as this video I found on "youtube" as you might expect I am desperate for an answer. Do not want to take a fuel pump out if I don't have to. Here is what my Jag does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sObekzX2Ktk (don't click it, the person removed the flick)
Is there a member that might have a clue? I have sent an email to this owner to see if he was able to get help. I bought the car new and have 49,843 miles on it after 10 years.

Brutal, I spoke with Gus by phone and he suggested that I buy a fuel line pressure tester and I will do that today. I will let you guys know what I find out. The video showed good fuel pressure but acted just like mine so I was trying to take the quick route to eliminate the fuel pump. I have the capacity to take the tank out but it is not a small task. Fuel pump tester here I come.

OK, put a OBDII reader on it and the only code that came up was P1111, this seems to be an inlet air temperature indication. From the jag codes a high voltage here means the reading was less than -37 F. I have pluged and unpluged the connector to the connect on the air intake hose and put some dielectric silicone grease on the pins to prevent problems. They say the code could clear after 40 normal warmups but I will try and find out the problem with Intake air sensor is? Could this sensor cause the problem with the good starting and then sputtering and eventually stalling out?

Ill take fuel pumps for a $100 Pat
seriously, try to start the car and then dperess the shrader valve on the fuel rail with a small screw driver. If it dribbles or you get nothing. You need a pump at the least. Sometimes a link lead and evap loss cap due to burning electrical connections

Brutal, I have an INNOVA 3100 which gave me one code P1111, this forum has said that this code is not what the generic code is. A member has said P1111 is sometimes incorrectly reported as IAT, but that code is definitely "Drive Cycle Test Passed" for a Jaguar. Do you concur? ..............Chris

Problem is solved, car runs like a champ. Scanner said it was P1111. Took the intake Air Flow sensor apart. This has both the Air temp thermistor and pitot tube for the air flow sensor in it. There was junk on the thermistor so I cleaned the bulb and then I found a dead moth up inside the pitot tube right up against the two resistor looking elements. Removed the moth and cleaned the sensor with alcohol. Put everything back and wala!! Car started up and ran great. How the moth got by the air filter is beyond me? But then again I have been finding stink bugs in all kinds of places. Thanks for the online help from the members. Gus, Brutal et. el
