1993 Jaguar XJ6 from North America - Comments

Should I buy a 94 XJ6 at 9000 dollars 47000 miles? Is this a bad idea?

I have a 1993 Jaguar XJ6 and this sorry car sucks. I have to put 1,000 in every month. These cars are really a very bad investment. I will never say that Jags are cool cars; they suck.

If you think they're so cool, buy them all, they're not worth any money. You can have mine, 1993 XJ6 150,000 miles for 3,000. My name is Bob, my # 478-213-2425. I put a new motor in it last year, it cost me 4,700. I bought the car for 5,000; add it up and call me.

I HAVE A QUESTION!! I have a '93 XJ6 and when I turn the ignition I don't hear the fuel pump come on (you know the little -bzzzz- sound it makes). Now after turning the key 20, 30 or even sometimes 40 times the pump finally comes on and then it starts. I thought it was the fuel pump, but was told that it was a fuel pump relay switch. My question is "IS IT MY RELAY SWITCH AND WHERE IS IT AND WHERE IS IT LOCATED?? THANKS, "STRANDED"

The feelings about older jags is not restricted to a few select owners. It is known that these jags have problems. My grandfather bought his '93 XJ6 in '94 and I have it now, it only has 85,000 miles on it and in this passed year, we've had to fix the AC, the axis broke (funny because I'm not a crazy driver, I keep myself within 8 mph over the speed limit or less), replaced the oxygen sensors, replaced the gas distributor (surprisingly expensive), and replaced the connector cables in the transmission (surprisingly cheap), all for a grand total around $5,000. I love this car and hope it will last me passed 150,000 miles, but every time I feel like it's OK, another problem arises. My grandfather and I both want to keep it at least until it's a classic, but we know that if it has another problem that costs over $1,000 we will get rid of it.

I HAVE A 1994 JAGUAR XJ6. I paid 1800 for it, the car runs great. It has 106,000 miles. The only problem I have is when I start it. I usually, when it's cold, have to turn the ignition for about 7 seconds then turn it off and then do it again and then it usually starts after another 7 seconds of turning, but then white smoke comes out the exhaust. When the cars been running and I shut it off and start it within 15 minutes, it usually starts right up with no smoke. If anyone knows what this could be, please let me know.

I realize you may not still be looking for an answer for the question from May on where the fuel pump relay is.

I have a 93 XJ6 and love it, but have done the electrical battle myself.

The relay is in the the rear trunk on the right side (opposite of gas fill) behind the panel by the tail light. There is also one under the hood on the fire wall that provides power to the relay in the trunk.

I first replaced under the hood and then had to replace the one in the trunk. You can go to a Jaguar dealer and they will print you out a copy of the relay locations, including the color of the block they plug into.

As for the white smoke when starting up cold, I believe it is a result of too rich of a gas mixture (mine reported bad oxygen sensor). I have not bothered to replace it because I was told it was only related to emissions testing needs. Once driven it does not put out the white puff when warmed up start.
