Xj8 turning but not starting Hi my 98 xj8 is not starting, it cranks battery seems fine but just not firing, at times it is so close I thought that it had started, sat for a few days previously due to snow , I tried pressing the accelerator pedal and cranking but no success, I heard that this might work but not yet at least, any advice suggestions appreciated Many thanks in advance Trevor

hi i have a 1998 xj8 4.0 which starts well without effort most of the time. but then sometimes it takes a few turns of the key to fire up, it is cranking well and battery seems fine , i have tried starting in neutral instead of park, no pedals used, etc i havent had the car too long ...is there something im not doing? or any ideas as to what might be the problem, it seems to be getting more frequent ... it was once every dozen starts or so but now more often than that.. any advice would be appreciated, im a novice so .......thanks
