Drove my 1999 XJR about 30 minutes to a shopping malll. After about a 10 minute stay returned to the car and it would not start. It cranks (turns over) just fine and tries to start. RPM will get up to about 4-500 and the engine promptly dies. Listened in the trunk but can't tell if the fuel pump is working. Pulled both pump relays. They work. Don't have a OBD-II code reader. Possible inertia switch malfunction? Only 23,700 miles so I don't think the fuel pump should have failed. Disconnected battery for 10 minutes. Recharded battery. Still won't start.
