Cranks but won't fire after a strong wind

Did you check all the fuses and relays?
I dont think its battery- very easy way to eliminate it and stop any further waste of time. If you have another small battery, attach it via jumper cables to your battery, and crank the car, you can also do this by attaching the leads to another car. (just make sure the other car is not running)
One way that I check fuel pump relays is borrow an identical relay form a non crucial circuit.

Hi all,
I've looked over threads regarding this and will look into battery and pump once I'm back from work. However just 8-10 hours prior to the failure I moved the Jag from a place where it potentially can get damaged since we had a rather strong wind and rain yesterday (up to 30mph). And to me it's quite a coincidence since the car ran smoothly before that. Was parked for the night under a slight angle also if it matters (about 10-20 degrees maybe, sideways to the hill).
Anything specific you think I should look into? It's an XK 2009 we're talking about. Half a tank of fuel left.
Thanks in advance!

by taking a closer look at what you wrote about rain and wind,that was the entire problem that damaged my Jag and that's exactly how water seeped through my convertible top and broke the fuse box.With that said, you might just be experiencing the same problem I had and what i did to fix it

Hey Barry,
Thanks for the thorough answer, really appreciate it. And it's always better with pics.
0. I will check the relay, yes. Thanks!
1. Was adding coolant according to requirements. Oil was always on a good level.
2. Checked the fuses behind the back seat and under the hood today. According to the handbook page 227, it's fuse 33 in 2009 XK that controls the fuel pump. Looked good once I pulled it out.
Does it make sense to check all other fuses? Checked only Starter and Throttle motor ones under the hood.

I have a question too.
What is the protocol to get the car out of "fail/safe mode" or security mode?

to reset you have go into convenience mode, one press of start button, wait 10 seconds then press start button again to turn ignition On, wait 30 seconds then press start button again with brake pedal to start as normal.

If the inertia switch has tripped you should get a message to say that it has tripped.

Most valuable information in an emergency when you dont have your wits about you.

idk but all I did was changed my whole fuse box out and it fixed it for me.If you have to change some fuses out, find a way to reset the car by taking the battery terminals loose and try touching them together.The Jaguar car is smart,so if you fixed it back the way it should be,it will forget the crap codes and work normal like it should like nothing never went wrong with it

The second weekend of trying to solve it, last try as well. Got an OBD reader, here're the readings from OBD Fusion app (Car Scanner Pro and Auto Doctor show same info).
Can you spot anything odd? Fuel pressure seems a bit too high, doesn't it?

Hey Barry. Thanks! 2 questions:
1. Malfunctioning relays you mentioned earlier. Would they show up in the OBD scanning?
2. Is there a way to qualify it’s fuel pump before getting a new one and figuring out it’s still smh else?

just by the way your car sounds when you try to start it,it either sounds like the engine is flooded with fuel,another thing you can check for are the spark plugs and i think sometimes that can be an issue if they gone bad to not let the car start.Or look up starter problems.It gotta be anything i've listed so far of things to check for that have a lot to do with your car not starting.So far with your codes,it looks like it's saying the engine is not getting any fuel

Recharging the battery again to try to give the car a good crank tomorrow. They say it might spit a bit but most likely is the issue. Also suggestion is to floor the throttle at the same time. Will do that first and then open up the engine and check sparks.
