This kitty won't purr! AKA won't crank/start
Hi bros I'm a newbie to this forum. I just bought a 02 x-type 2.5 shtick shift against a veteran jag mechanics advice. I bought it as is which is not cranking and def not starting. I'm a electrical troubleshooting veteran in the commercial and manufacturing environment. So far a new battery fully charged. If I dejacket the starter relay and manually close the engine cranks nice. Ignition switch tests out good on all positions at the switch itself. Clutch interlock switch tests good when depressed. Obd2 has a 1638 as its only code and immediately returns when cleared. Last guy had the cluster out and so did I but its back in with no bent pins. Where to go from here? The schematics were a world of help as they guided me to deliver this info. Help.

I checked all under hood fuses and the ones inside that were labeled like they may have a bearing on the problem. My fuel pressure tester doesn't fit this port but I'll get one that does. It shot out gas when depressed though. As for the PATS I'm not sure how to proceed. It appears to be communicating via a network signal first SCP then CAN. can you assist in PATS troubleshooting? Thanks in advance.

What was the reason for the 'veteran Jag mechanic' recommending against purchasing this vehicle?
Does the PATS light on the top of the dash flash or stay on when you are attempting to start the vehicle?

The vet said these suck like no tomorrow. Do not buy and if they gift take right to the junkyard. I like them as a awd option. The pats light is on the console attached to a coin holder is it not? The battery is at 5.3 volts and charging so I'll post tomorrow afternoon with the PATS light story. It was off as I recall on last start attempt at cranking. Thanks for your time and effort. If you ever come to pa I'll show you a good time.

NBCat if your still watching battery was ok just charger said it was bad. I found my car in another thread that gave up and sold it. I just realized it as I was looking for the pats info you suggested me to search for. I found my cars story to the "T" and asked questions that never got answered. So the battery's over 12.6 and the pats light isn't barking. Where too?
