Some Jaguar X-Type owners report experiencing starting issues despite having sufficient fuel, which may be attributed to several factors. Some owners have identified immobilizer problems that prevent fuel feed while turning over the engine, cutting power to both the starting system and the fuel supply. Additionally, even with a new fuel pump installed and good pressure, some owners find that the pump may not be the actual cause of the starting failure. It is also recommended that owners check the fuel filter for clean diesel and ensure the fuel system is free of air, as bleeding the system can help resolve potential issues. Furthermore, verifying battery voltage at the starter is crucial, as a lack of voltage could indicate a bad earth connection on the engine. For those still facing difficulties, seeking professional diagnostic services, such as terraclean or fuel system cleaning, may help address issues related to glow plugs or other fuel system components.
