Hi All,
I am a new 1995 discovery owner although I have had a 1967 NADA dormobile for 8 years now. The discovery is having some engine problems that I would appreciate any advice on as it is a bit more complicated than the S11A.
Sometimes it will hesitate and stall and restart while in the 1000-2000rpm range and you have to give it good pedal to keep it going. It will usually rev up after a bit but the truck will lurch as the rpms jump up and down. When it does go and pick up speed I get a strong smell of gas. It just did this as I was driving down my driveway where it stalled when I came to a stop. I left the key turned on and jumped out and lifted the hood. It sounded like the injectors were still running and delivering feul with the engine off. I turned the key off as soon as I realized what was happening.
I tried to start it once but it did not sound right so I am letting it sit as I think it is flooded now.
Also, a few times per tank of gas it stalls when it comes to a stop will but will usually restart but will stall imediately afterwards. If I give it gas when it starts it will usually go and I can keep it running if I keep the RPM up. Sometimes I have to let it sit for a min or so and then it will run fine.
I am not sure if these 2 problems are related or not. I did pull the idle control valve and it did not seem dirty and I have changed the feul filter.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Very similar thing was happening to us. Stall at 1800 rpm under load and bad idle. Disco specialist diagnosed a faulty Air Flow Meter - replaced with recon unit for $700AUS ( under dealer 3mth warranty ) and problem solved.

FUEL! Not FEUL... |
