Hi guys new to the forum lots of help here. I bought this car from a friend who said he doesn't know whats wrong with this car. The car sat for 8 months. I got it home charged the battery and tried starting it. I have fuel pressure, starter engages don't know about spark issue. So read some posts and cleaned throttle body. Still no start, disconnected the intake tube from the throttle body and after a bit she started and ran rough. So then I connected the tube and can't start it. I think is weird she will start without the tube connected, run rough but started. Any help would be great. I know my way around a lot of cars this is my first Jag. Thanks for looking.

Oil level was 1 quart low and oil is clean. I'm very worried about this noise. Noise is coming from driver side of motor up top around valve cover. Is it good news that theres no smoke,no codes no leaks ect? Really don't know where to go with this first. I'm not a Jag guy this is my first

Check the tensioners and if they have not been replaced then replace both and it is good advice for you not to run the engine until you have them checked. If it is a loud tapping I would venture to say the tensioners but if it is a knock you may have a deeper problem like a rod or wrist pin problem.

Advice to check TC tensioners (and quick smart) is very timely. Also be aware that there have been reports of "chain jumping" which upsets timing, makes for start and/or rough running issues, and in very worst but rare cases, valve clashing. Any of these could give rise to RPM dependent tapping noises.
Do not start again unless all of this, including timing, has been checked and corrected if necessary. Biggish DIY job ... special tools if you need to reset timing ... read up on relevant section in workshop manual.
