so i replaced my fuel pressure regulator the other day on my Xj. replaced all three fuel rail quicks while i was at it. now the Xj only starts sometimes.
symptoms:
it will turn over and even fire for like 2 seconds and act like its about to start , but then it doesnt.
sometimes it starts up on the first try, sometimes ten times. each time i get crank, and a slight start up, then it dies.
im going to put the old regulator on and see if that helps. if that doesnt help ill be testing and probably replacinf the crankshaft position sensor .
ill also be verifying sparka nd proper fuel pressure as well .
anyone got any other ideas for this random no start that is like a "almost start" every time?
i am pretty sure if the NSS is going it wont even crank or even almost start, so im ruling out hte NSS , i dont need to put it in neutral
but i think a lack of fuel upon startup could do it?
maybe the brand new regulator is bad?
maybe the CPS is going out? unplug and replug didnt help.
