    No power and poor idle

    This Disco is a piece of shit and a money pit. Time to go buy something made in North America.

    No power and poor idle

    Fuel pressure is good, new pump and filter last year. New stepper motor last year. My theory, 1,4,6,7 cyl injector aren't working because of a little bit of corrosion on the ECU. It appears to idle smooth because of the location of the good cyls or these cyls are getting a dribble of fuel. If I...

    No power and poor idle

    A while back I had an issue with my 96 Disco starting hard and wouldn't idle very good. I thought it was just water in my gas. It cleared up and ran fine for a full tank of gas then started acting up again. So far I have replaced plugs, wires, TPS and crank sensor. I have good spark on all my...

    Champion sparkplugs

    I pulled the plugs out of my 96 discovery , they are RN11YC4. I went to 3 different stores and they wanted to sell me RC12MC4. Are these the correct plugs? They are the smaller hex nut size and look a little longer in the tip.

    Sputtering, stalling won't run

    Last time it would not idle I tracked it down to stepper motor. It has been running great since I put a new one on. 176000 kms on it. Other than plugs,wires ,fuel filter last summer, oil changed recently, what other tune up issue is there? Wires replaced one at a time so they would not get mixed...

    Sputtering, stalling won't run

    96 D1 running like crap again. Here's the story. Coming home from work, topped the tank up. Parked it for the night. Went to drive it the next afternoon and it ran, but would sputter and cough when I stepped on the gas. Though I had water in my gas. Added some octane boost because it was regular...

    cold reverse thunk.

    Set your handbrake before putting it in gear. That would stop any movement in the rear drive shaft.

    Front end vibration

    Flex joint was my problem. Its weird that I could hear/feel more vibration in the front. Changed it out and vibration is gone. It was bad enough that the bolts from the driveshaft yoke were rubbing against rear end yoke. I agree the block lift accelerated the wear. Thanks :applause: :)

    Front end vibration

    Not my front drive shaft, both u-joints are good, no play. How do I check my CV joint? Do I have to rip the hub apart to find out? Noise is definetly front drivers side.Kind of a grinding sound. Bearings? I guess I will have to tear it down to find out won't I?

    Front end vibration

    96 Disco, 2" block lift, all else stock. The last couple of weeks I could hear a humming noise coming from the front end when slowing down. Today it has gotten worse. When I speed up, from a stop, to highway speed I am getting a loud humming and vibration from the front end. Kinda goes away at...

    Heater fan cutting out

    I lost all fan speeds, blower would not go. It is now working. I'm hoping I can just clean it up also. Will let you know after I get into it, won't be for a couple of days. Maybe even a used replacement although they are hard to find here in Ontario, Canada. Otherwise I'll look into a new one...

    Heater fan cutting out

    On my 96 Disco the heater fan would cut out and come back on . Today it would not come on at all. After awhile it came back on and seems to be working fine. When it works I have all fan speeds and have always had heat just no fan. Any idea what my problem is? Are my heater blower resisters...

    Idler Pulley

    Goin' to work this morning and I thought I threw my serpentine belt. Found out the Idler pulley broke in half, fell off and I lost my belt tension. Just by chance I took the pulley off my wife's 01 Grand Prix to see if I could get it home. It worked, the inside bearing dimension was the same...

    Lights and wipers?

    1996 Discovery My right side lights, tail lights and dash lights went out. Thought I had it fixed by replacing a couple of bad light sockets on my marker lights. Then about a week later, all marker and tail lights went out. Took the advice of the forum and got a used switch for the lights...

    Stalling in cold weather

    96 disco. Now that the cold weather is on us here in Ontario, my Disco has started to stall when idling at a stop in gear. It seems to do it when it has warmed up. My engine light was on with a code for the up stream O2 sensors before the cold set in, so that is what I changed first, both of...

    Wipers??

    I have also noticed that my rear wiper will only make one pass when turned on? Are the front and rear wipers on the same computer?
