$1,000 Jaguar XJ8 RUNS AGAIN *Completely Re-Timed*
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2022
- I bought a 1999 Jaguar XJ8 with only 75k miles on kit for $1,000. After doing some troubleshooting I found the fuel system was completely dry. After replacing the fuel pump the car tries to start consistently but dies after a second. The internet says it's likely fuel washing down the cylinders and lowering compression to the point where it won't start. Today I'm going to try spoon feeding oil into the Nikasil coated cylinders to raise the compression... hopefully it starts and runs after! I hooked up the air intake and sealed it as well, lots of Jag techs mentioned the XJ8 can't run without the MAF.

Thanks for catering your content to your followers in this instance. I know we all wanted to see that Jag saved. Love your work
Something so satisfying about seeing these old Euro barges saved 😮💨
You are very welcome!
Absolutely admire people like Dana. I hope he makes an appearance again once in a while.
He could be stunt man for tom segura
Dana is awesome
Ok I’m pumped!! So happy you decided to fix the jag! That’s why we love your content!! Thanks buddy 🎉
Thanks for watching! 💯
@@WatchJRGo it's funny how you need a "special tool" for a old Pontiac engine timing chain style. This is the same setup for timing as a 94' Grand Am (the one with the intake at the bottom of the engine), and uses the same tool.
I’d say it was always JR’s plan to fix it and he probably wanted it done quickly so scheduled Dana to help him. He was probably just saying he was done with it to build up the suspense and get the comments section going pending scheduling it at the other shop? After all he could have opened his garage door, pushed it back a bit, borrowed the tools and completed the job himself if he thought he could work through it quickly enough!
This is the John Ross we like. Doesn't stop to working on cars. Keep it up!
@@WatchJRGo If you want a quick profit, sell it to Tyler for $5K. He'll buy it in a heartbeat.
That Jag is a gem. Thank you, Dana and the guys for bringing it back to life.
Please don't lower it or replace the original wheels, keep it original.
I know it’s not the same, but glad to see you back in your garage where it all started. And I have a feeling you’re gonna come back better than ever. It’s humble re-beginnings!
Its not the same, its better
Oddly this series really grabbed me.. it was fun seeing it come back to life
Thanks for posting this video. I am the owner of a 99 XJ8 (Champagne metallic, matching leather) that unfortunately was taken to an unscrupulous mechanic for code diagnostic work and had to be flatbedded home. The car wouldn't start when I went to pick it up. He explained that it needed a whole new engine and that he just so happened to specialize in engine replacement! The poor Jag has been sitting in my driveway now, forlorn, for 4 years.
Yay the jag lives , I knew you wouldn't let it go without doing the job properly, well done JR 👏 👍 😀
I love that era of jags
She sounds soooo good! Congratulations JR! Thanks for not giving up on her. I bet with a detail, it'll look like new again.
I have to give you so much credit for the amount of patience you have. I would have thrown every tool I own way before this.
So pleased you gave the old lady some care and attention to have her running again, it wasn't her fault she was abused, neglected and abandoned 16 years ago. From the UK.
ITS ALIVE.......ALIVE!
JR do a buy merch raffle on it, so we can get a chance for Jag goodness.
The Bentley might be more suited to that, I'll look into it but you have to have a 3rd party put the whole deal together 😳
@@WatchJRGo Randy from Auto Auction Rebuilds is doing a give away, maybe he could help
Great to see and I genuinely believed this one was consigned to history. It'll be interesting to hear how it runs once its done a few miles. Congratulations on getting it running!
That man literally saved this car. Also shout out to 100%Jake, for slowing the Monster energy drink population's rapid expansion, single handed. The heroes we need.
I think they're an invasive species. I do what I can.
Man, Witchita is amazing.. you have more parts, specialists, cars than I could ever dream about in San Jose.. Maybe I should move..
So happy you stuck with the Jag, there is just something about them, they are one of the few cars that still have a personality :)
Good job, i knew you would sort it out, because it's rare for you to throw in the towel. I do like it when you revive something that someone else has cobbled up, makes it gritty. Not everyone can diagnose that well, takes a lot of skill really. I like a challenge myself, so good on you. G-d bless.

Oh I absolutely love that Jag! So happy she’s alive again - much kudos to proper techs like Dana. All she needs a good run and fresh gas now - an I-talian Tune Up, some Berryman’s B12 and feed her the onions!! Really great move fixing her and not giving up JR!
This is so awesome! Thank you to Dana and your whole crew, JR!
Much better than an LS swap. Congrats. Great series.
This is what and why we love your content Jr. because you take the most difficult problems and explain them to your audience in a manner that everyone can understand and comprehend. This is what other channels are missing. Keep this content coming. Great work!
Thank you for carrying on with the Jag i think we all appreciate your efforts .
Am I the only one that want to see a series of this thing? maybe an exhaust and som wheels? That will be cool.
I’d throw some Restore in the oil for compression loss. Best additive that I’ve ever used. Some fresh gas and drive that Jag for an hour or so. Anyways great that you decided to push on. Once that car gets a good detail and hoping just a couple more tweaks and it’s gonna be a beautiful runner.
Restore is incredible on cars with super high mileage and especially older cars like this!
We’re invested in the Jaaaaaaaaaaaag!
This thing coming back to life was actually quite amazing to watch. Bizarre, but amazing. I had to rewatch it chug itself back to life. That’s something I’ve never seen - car chugging on it’s own like that willingly.
I must admit, I never expected to hear this one run. Right on JR!
Yes! It lives again, watching now, good job😎
I’m so happy you made this decision! It’s a gorgeous car and they just don’t make them like this anymore. They are pretty reliable once you have new tensioners and it’s done right.
Sure they are....
That's why they are admired for their reliability and durability and that reputation was reflected by their sales numbers vs it's competition and is stellar resale.
The jags after 2010 are all fomoco....the 5.0 is the f150 coyote engine trans. Same as Lr4 and RRSport. Great vehicles.
@@williamegler8771 Yes exactly! I’ve seen an 2001 XJ8 with 330k miles and it was mint inside out!
Great job everyone involved in getting the Jag running again. I think some heat cycles, and about 50 miles driving might clear up some little issues.
F**k yeah dude! your pushed through and got this old thing running. was alot of work for one of these, but you earned yourself a loyal viewer (probably a bunch of us). honestly thought you were done with it but the fact you kept going shows alot about you and what you do. You should get a Land Rover Disco 1 and bring it back to factory as much as you can :P bet it would get some decent views and love
That’s a funny looking Bentley.😂😂
Hey the #4headlightgang is parked together now! 😂
So good to see the Jaguar nearly there. Well done JR we want more of this car please 🤩
Hitting it out of the park with the content at the moment jr! My favourite car youtuber at the moment. Love that you are back to fixing old cars and not the shop. Still miss the old beater honda days but hey bentleys and jags are always entertaining!
Winners never quit. You done good, very proud of you.
What a pleasure to watch and work with properly trained techs. We've all been there....
So happy you kept working on this beauty, I love this model of jag and she looks great and can't wait to see it clean and running good. I wish I had an old jag like that!
Bet you're glad now you didn't scrap it. On some UK cars you need a specialist who knows the ins and outs of a particular make. Dana is one such person..years of training and experience. So pleased to this this cat run again.
Absolutly love watching Dana work. He was the guy I tool my Boxster to before Johnny went independent.
When you first saw the timing was off and you just closed it up - I sort of cried inside. I am so glad you still tried to fix it - and got it to run. Congrats!
Ayyyy, always pushing out these great videos. Thanks man
Great video, love to see these old jags that deserve another life bought back from the brink. This old car would make a great daily driver.
You are such a good mechanic wow you got the jag going .good job.
I would keep that car after it's running, that's a really classy car. That styling is timeless. You have someone close that knows how to work on jags, that's a big help. It'll probably take a while to bring it back to normal after sitting all those years, but probably still worth it.
you gotta do more content on this Jag. what a unique car. Dana is fabulous. so glad you persisted with this vehicle !
I'm glad that you didn't throw in the towel on this one. I never see you give up on a vehicle so I'm happy to see this one running and saved. A rare classic that someone can enjoy again. Great work as always J.R.!
Thanks for not giving up on this one. Even though it's not worth much it's too nice to junk.
Thanks for stepping up man. This video really makes me, and I’m sure many of your subscribers very happy. Awesome man!
Congratulations, I'm glad you didn't give up on the Jag. Nice job boys
Thank you for paying attention to your viewers, it lets us know you really care about what we think
Love that you out passion into these projects. Glad Dana was there to help, but would love see you struggle and learn yourself too! That's what we're doing out here!
I am so happy you guys brought it back. This may be my favorite car you've done to date. #SavedTheCat
The videos on the Jag and Bentley are great. Fixing cars that others could not get running is great content. Keep the cheap car repair coming.
I’m so happy to see it run! Let’s see some driving next and WOT!👍👍
thanks for the follow through brother we really appreciate it!!!!
You legend. Never give up. I think that’s the great thing about your channel.
That's a really nice Jag now that it runs. With 20:20 hindsight, it was worth the effort.
It's always great to see a specialized tech come in clutch and save the day on the unsaveables! Thanks JR!
JR is a wise man, always give the people what they want! Awesome story bringing the cat back to life!
Congratulations on the Jag, Great work, Engine sounds very good and thankfully the valves are good.
JR this is what keeps me coming back. You are by far my favorite channel. Thanks for finishing your projects. I know we all wanted to see this one saved!
So glad you persevered with this XJ8. Dana is a very cool guy. Enjoyed watching him work his magic on this car.
Congratulations! So glad to see you didn't give up on it and just sell it off as is. There are so many out there that take on projects that they don't have the skill set or patience to finish and end up failing time and time again. No names mentioned but let's just say when you can pull off a win like this without endless money infusions from a rich stepmother, it just shows who the real pro is here.
One reasons i like this channel, just a real guy doing real things , showing that having good friends and connections is sometimes a huge life saver and help. Dont burn bridges people... we all need somebody sometime
Been waiting all day for this episode
Very cool. Happy you were able to bring it back to life. Hope to see you drive it around “the block” before you send it down the road. Either way, glad you gave it another chance.
another great video from JR, thanks
Glad to see you stuck at it and timed it. Much more satisfying! Well done.
You are the man!
Thanks to Dana as well and thank you for not giving up on it
That jag idling all wonky sounds like me waking up to go to work 😂
Glad you decided to check the timing. But, "Slamming' a car to the ground is so "Aaron and Richard " from GMG.
Thank you so much as an owner of 2 of these awesome cars it truly saddened me when you was going to give up on her. I know they are expensive to repair and maintain but one day these cars will be highly sought after and you're already getting so much car for so little money. Thank you for saving this beauty.
Great job! This car really deserves to be back on the road!
Wooo. Glad you kept at it
Perseverance, and never give up! Well done. Congrats
Brilliant job 👍 good to hear it spring into life.
Awesome to see it run again! Glad that you kept working on it.
Thanks for fixing this! Really enjoyed this one
Good effort produces good results. It’s good to have friends like Dana that have the expertise to do a job like this. It’s a wonderful old luxury car that has been given another chance at life. I hope that you drive it for a while and enjoy it.
Such a beautiful Jag! I am so glad you got it running! I love my 93!
Thanks you thank you thank you for not giving up! 😀😀 Great content for us but appreciate its frustrating at the moment for you 👍
it's great seeing the Jag coming back to life. Great work! Kudos to the team.
So cool to see the Jag running!! I completely understand why you didn’t want to get into that, but glad ya did!!
I'm so glad you're working on the Jag!!
Well done, i really was gutted when you said that you were given up on the jaguar especially with the low mileage and it is in great condition body wise, i thank you sir for saving my favourite car excellent
Honestly mate, I'm so glad you got the jaaaaag running again. We could all see you were so close to the gold and had just stopped digging
Dana is an awesome guy. I like that he was like before you get rid of it give me a shot. I can't wait to see this cleaned up a little and cruising
Love that you brought the jag back to life.
JR , your Jag tech Dana is the man! It’s good to have friends like that helping you save a car that’s worth saving. The new ones aren’t doing it for me and not impressed anymore by them but I still can’t stop looking at the one you have and say damn should’ve gotten one back in the day when I had the chance. Maybe after watching you guys I’ll get lucky and find one on the east coast that isn’t a rusted out sh$t box and is worth saving. Hope you do one more video and show it’s first drive!!! Fingers crossed 🤞. Great job guys 👍
Glad you guys got it going!
It's alive! Thank you JR
Great to see Dana in this feature. Glad you were able to get this neat car going!
You’re smashing TH-cam. So many videos lately. Bentley looks like it’s going to be a long journey.
Congrats in getting it started. Glad there is hope it gets back on the road someday. Now I know why the Jag techs make the big bucks for their expensive training, unique knowledge and skillset (they are the only ones that know the "secret handshake" to get the car going again.)
So glad you got that car going. Slam it like the other one and keep it.
That other one is static on cut springs… it’s pretty awful. Looks neat though
Well done you and Dana. It was worth saving!
Yay I'm so happy you fixed it ty for not leaving us hanging 🥰😋🤗
Glad to see the old Jag running. Great job JR and Dana
I’m so glad you went through with the retiming of the car! Thanks for listening to us! Also all I’m gonna say is that Elliot Alvis has a set of M parallel wheels he isn’t using… 👀
Congratulations on getting it running!!
