Went to start the wife's 94 Disco the other day and it would not fire. Smelled like it was flooded. About 2 days prior went to test new key and turned to run position but didnt start it. I had a similar problem with it a few months back but was able to get it started. Tried again today after replacing spark plugs. Plugs were fouled and stunk of gasoline. Cranked engine several times with plugs out and fuel pump fuse removed. Installed new plugs. Attempted to start, engine cranks and sputters but no start. Now battery is dead. does this truck have a cold start injector that I can disconnect to help clear the flood? Holding the gas pedal to the floor while cranking does not help. Anyone else have this problem or suggestions? Thanks, Jeff | ||

I had a problem when I was messing with my fuel system that was similar to that. It was severely flooded. I would pull the plugs, clean them off real nice, then put it back in. Sure enough, they'd be super wet next time I pulled them. The solution for me(since I was replacing the fuel pump I had the cover off), was to disconnect the multi-plug at the fuel pump. I figure pulling the fuse would do the same thing for you. With that disconnected, I just floored it and cranked it over. Started right up and ran for a few secs with that fuel in there, sputtered, died, then I hooked fuel pump back up and it ran great. |
