Good morning to all. I am having a heck of a time with this rover. 2003 Disco SE I completely rebuilt the motor and replaced many parts. Long list for now, but had two Certified mechanics help me plus followed the Big Rave and Overhaul Manuel vary closely. Was not hard if you have the rights tools, parts and know how. So there's one thing that stands out that I did. upon removing the Fly Wheel, it slipped and hit the CPS, plus it was completely summered in engine cleaner; it was really dirty.
Before I replaced the CPS, sorry; had my girlfriend replace it with her tiny hand yesterday. Two things I did, First pulled the fuel pump fuse to prime the oil pump for 5 secs three times and then put the fuse back in and tried to crank it. No start, secondly, I spayed starter fluid and it hit a few times so I know it fires. Well.......... I was trolling LR forums like an idiot and read to put the key in the first position and pull the battery..... and let it sit for a few mins. ( to clear the computer ??? ) Well that did nothing for my issue...
The next day the CPS was replaced and I went to start it. It sounds good cranking but nothing. Pulled the carpet back and checked the fuel pump with a multi meter. No juice. I check the fuel rail pressure, a little squirt and then nothing. Hot wired the pump and there was lots of pressure. Crank then nothing still. Checked the spark and no spark on both coils.
All fuse were checked and relays were swapped to see what it could be. Looking and testing with my meter all grounds and connections. Every thing looks right and It was running fine, well not fine but running before the engine build. I definitely removed the keys before the battery when starting this whole project.
So what the heck is going on???? Its like the ECU is locking it out ????? Could it be the switch when your vehicle flips over ? The name escapes me ATM, maybe its called the inertia switch. Sites on the RH / Passengers side firewall.
Read and tired every thing from this post: No Power to fuel pump, no spark, turns over. Seriously confused - DiscoWeb Message Boards Except hot wire the inertia switch or replace it. In that post some one asked if the security light is flashing. It is not unless I lock it with the remote. blinks not flashing while locked I believe is normal.
