95 disco was running great on saturday. Went to start it up on Sunday, Temp. outside 5 degrees. It turns over, tries to start, but won't catch. If I keep cranking 30-60 seconds it seems like it almost will start but no go. You can also smell gas at that point, I assume the fuel pump is working as I can hear the relay as well.
Thanks for any input before I have it towed from my driveway(I mean towing it after I blew something big is one thing.)
Thanks

might have gasline freeze, check air filter make sure it's not choked with frozen moisture.
Now, if none of the above..put a heater on the ground under your engine compt, or a heat lamp in your engine compt. make sure they are radiating heat, but not touching anything they shouldn't...under the engine compt best...you get the oil pan heated up...after it's good and warm...start away.
(I am assuming you have plenty of cranking power, if you are cranking over weakly, you need to either jump start your car or charge up the battery...try throwing a pint or so of heat in your gas tank too, you might have picked up some moisture in your fuel.
Good Luck |
