1986 Jaguar XJ6 stalls

Sorry 13 ohms

I'll have to order the switch. I'll let you know how I make out.
Many Thanks, Vern

It took over a week to get an ignition switch. I just put it in and nothing. No change. Will only run for a few seconds and then stall. Fuel pump is not coming on with the ignition switch. Any more ideas?
Thanks, Vern

Yes, there is power with the key in the on position.

I can't remember doing a test on the flow meter. He explained how it worked and that was it. How do I test this unit?

I blocked the flap partially open with a screw driver and started the car. Idled perfectly, would accelerate slowly. Bingo, I think we hit a homer. I'll try to find an air flow meter.

Is it the air flow meter?

Installed air flow meter and she took right off. The car was not getting any air apparently. This should have been checked before. My grandfather once told me that Lucas almost cost the British the war. It had over half its planes grounded for electrical reasons.
Many Thanks, Vern

To whom it may concern, check the Mass air flow sensor, it's the silver box between the air filter and the throttle body. Take the black cover off and crank the engine watch the needle, see if the car try to start as the needle moves. Get your wife to try starting the car as you hold the needle open just a little. Let me know what the outcome was. I think you have a bad Mass air flow sensor. Also make sure the inerit swithc for the fuel cut off is in the down position. This is the switch you had throuble finding in the interior. Get back to me and let me know the outcome.
