My 1999 Disco I is having some missing isses. It drives along fine at 55-60 however when I am driving at highway speeds and someone gets in front of me and I take my foot of the gas it starts to have problems. When I push back down on the gas after taking my foot off the gas it starts to miss. To fix the problem I have to pull to the side of the road. When I do this the rpms drop to around 500 (normally closer to 750 at a good idle) it misses once or twice and then goes back up to the regular 750. After that I can floor it and it drives along fine for a while... The check engine light came on when this started happening. When it first started the problem seemed more random then just taking foot off gas so I gave it a tuneup. Plugs and wires and air filter. I bought a new fuel filter but have not had a chance to change it due to the bad weather. I am thinking possible issues. Fuel Filter(not that likely but I alread have it) Fuel Pressure regulator(my best guess) Thottle position sensor Vechile Speed sensor. Anyone have an opinion? The check engine code that I get is missing on multiple cylinders. Rich | ||

Sounds like you have a stuck exhaust valve due to carbon build up. They have a tendency to stick in one postions over time due to these vehicles being prone to carbon build up. | ||

The check engine light will show misfires and a possible O2 sensor code. I am betting VSS call Nathan at Discount Rovers. |
