Re: Jag X-type Crank no start

Got hold of two known good waveforms for similar (but not identical) Duratorq 2L diesel engines, both put the timing out 18 degs at the crank. Pulled the front cover off, pinned the crank at the flywheel (50 BTDC cyl 1) and the cam sprockets are within 1deg (can't quite get the locking pins in but v...

Re: Jag X-type Crank no start

Thanks Liteace. I would have done, except the amp clamp has not arrived yet but 20x attenuator has, I thought I set the s/w to 20x - but I see what you mean, if it was set correctly to 20x then that should be reading 180v not 9v, so perhaps my injectors are not firing after all.

Re: Jag X-type Crank no start

As a new user I am finding this is very confusing, in the crank+Injector file above I back probed injector 1 with a 20x attenuator.
How come I am seeing the injector pulse set (pilot+main) every 360 degs of rotation?
Thanks!

Re: Help with my wave form please

Sorry, I am just as new to this as you - but surely you are getting nothing because your car is not cranking. Set a trigger at 2v, and Single, 20ms/div and 1Ms Turn on the key, then start the trace, then crank for a few seconds. Should look like this https://www.picoauto.com/library/automotive-guide...

FIXED: Jag X-type Crank no start

Hi all, enthusiastic amateur here. I acquired a 06 Jag x-type, manual with the 2L Diesel Duratorq engine in it (same as a MK3 Mondeo) as a PX spares/repairs from a local dealer. It was running very rough when I saw it, they delivered it to me and though it was running like a tractor coming off the t...
