Well, I finally found out what was wrong with my Jag,,, My parts guy had
gotten me a "resistor pack" that he thought could be causing the problem.
But I couldn't figure out where it was on the car. I couldn't even find
mention of it in my manual. After tearing everything else apart, I saw a
bunch of wires going under the battery, so I pulled the battery and battery
pan. Well, it wasn't there either, but there was a inline spade fuse (30
amp) that had corroded apart. Yes, hard to believe, but after replacing the
fuse & holder, the engine fired right up!!! I have no idea what that fuse
powered, but that was what the problem was. Having run so much raw fuel past
the cylinders, I didn't want to run it much, so I pulled the spark plugs and
poured a bunch of oil down each cyl. I'll change the oil again tomorrow
before starting back up.

   Anyway, thanks for all the help. It seems like the simple things can be
the hardest to find.

Glad you found it. It seems that wiring and connections are often
responsible for hard to diagnose problems. I didn't think your car had a
resistor pack and was pretty sure a resistor pack could not cause your
symptoms.

Leave it to Jaguar to put a connector under the battery
You would think that after being in business for 70 years that someone would
have guessed that its a very corrosive place.
