These codes come up with the OBD II. What would cause this? Spark plugs are less than 1 year old, less than 25K on them. New magnecor wires too. Odd???? Is Cylinder 1 located on the passenger side in the back? If so I think I may need to redo that one. Any ideas? |

Check to see if the plug boots are secure on the plugs. I had the CE light come on right after I installed new magnecores - it turned out that one of the boots had worked its way off. They fit so snug that it seems easy to get some air trapped in there.
Good luck

Carbon fouling on the valves will give you a misfire error.
Here are two very well done .PDF files on the problem.

Carbon was the problem with my 1999 Disco II. They replaced the top end and found a valve seal that was damaged when the engine was made so it was defective from day one. |

Dealer reset the codes for free. Still scratching their heads. I believe that it is the speed sensor. I doubt very much a problem with carbon build up. Local LR mechs say that it is mostly an east cost thing with humidity. I live in the desert. No humidity. Besides I run her stong, and she seems to drive good, as well as the D2 loaner I have. No hesitation. Thanks for the imput. |
