I have a 1993 Disco 1 3.5 V8i (no cat) manual. Most of the time it starts perfectly when cold (foot off throttle). Occasionally it just doesn't fire and I'm into a routine of tickling the throttle and trying to catch it as it struggles to fire. It then runs perfectly and will start instantly when warm. I initially thought it was the coolant temperature sensor which seemed to be showing infinite resistance and changed this to no avail. I have changed the distributor cap, rotor arm and plug leads (slicon). Any suggestions would be most helpful...... | ||

I have the same problem with my 96 D1 auto and have been told that it is probably due to bad lead wire from my starter to the battery. These wires are known for becoming corroded easily, especially if your rig is a 93. Replace the lead wire with a high quality battery cable wire and see if that does the trick. I haven't actually gone in to fix mine yet, but everything else is fine (dist, rotor, plugs, wires, temp sensor, etc.), so that seems like a logical place to check. |
