there is an electro-magnetic pick up on the fly wheel telling the ecu when to fire with jags this is a common fault as they have a tendency to fail which knocks out the sensor compleatly so you can turn over the car and it wont spark at the plugs correctly

I have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Is there such thing as engine auto lock if you have a head gasket problem to keep water and oil mixing? I brought my car in for brakes and they've had it for months of problems getting parts and lots of excuses and when i finally gave up on them and went to pick it up it wouldn't start. It was running fine when I brought it there. They told me last they started it, it was blowing white smoke and jags have a bypass or auto disabler of the engine so that it won't cause more damage so maybe that's why its won't start. Is this bullshit? Is there such thing as a hyper lock that makes it that the engine won't turn over? I want to call them out on their lies if this is a lie and have them repair it so I can drive it home like I drove it in there. thank you for any information you can give. Jim 3 Answers
