Final report and outcome: the problem was the interior fuse box.
I re-installed the old one that I had removed last year due to the A/C blower issue. Had to reset the alarm and it started on the first attempt. I don't have A/C again, but at least the engine is running fine.
Many thanks to all...
It has been a while and I received a couple of messages, so let me update this thread. A new contract at work and the fact that I am very frustrated with the Disco II prevented me from working consistently on this issue.
As of today, it's still not running. The same: crank, but it won't start...
I didn't try to power the fuel pump directly. Not sure how to do that. I'm assuming that I have to remove the plug, identify the pos and neg pin on the pump and apply power to it?
Power input at the fuse and relay: i checked voltage on both ends of the fuse. I removed the relay, tested it on...
I managed to connect the fuel pressure gauge today. I got 0 psi, but when I removed the gauge, the connector was wet (gasoline). Weird.
Removed the rear seats, carpet and fuel pump cover. I can't hear the pump running. I have the fuel pump with the extra black connector for the pressure sensor...
Interesting. About 6 months ago I had the "fuse to blower motor" electrical issue and I replaced the inside fuse box with a used one from a junk yard. The A/C came back to life and everything has been working fine, but your statement above got me thinking about it. What else can you tell me...
I managed to get a fuel pressure gauge, but the location of the valve is pretty impossible to reach, at least for my hands.
The catalytic converters were deleted by a previous owner. It's on my list of things to do. That eliminates the pressure build up at the converters.
When I crank, it...
No, I haven't checked the fuel PSI yet. Need to get a gauge. I believe that it is located behind the IM, on the left side of the engine, sandwiched between the IM and the firewall. I think is the plug with the green plastic cap, correct?
Is the ECM located near the footwell, right side of the...
I will check the pressure this week. Need to get a gauge. I know there is fuel entering the engine because I can hear the pump running, there is a strong smell of gasoline, when cranking it backfires like crazy; not to mention the explosion of the muffler. I believe the correct pressure should...
My Disco 2 is a 99 with the 4.0 Bosch engine; 175,000 miles.
I went to the post office the other day and after getting my mail the Disco didn't start. It would turn over but didn't start. Ended up calling AAA and towed it home. I checked spark, fuel, engine codes, inertia switch. All good...
Thanks John. That's exactly what I was looking for...
I believe that in most forums when you subscribe to a message, you must open the email notification of a reply in order to receive subsequent notifications. I received the email notification of the mssg before yours; but was not able to open...
To all: Thank you very much! Had to drive 3 and a half hours today (each way) to buy a set and I just replaced the broken wire. All good and the Disco is running again. Again, thank you and happy Thanksgiving.
I need to replace a single spark plug wire (#6) that I accidentally broke when pulling. Bosch engine, 4.0
Free would be great and of course, I'll pay for shipping. If you are selling it, let me know how much you want for it.
Thanks!
