Author Message   Marshall Grant Posted on Monday, June 24, 2002 - 11:45 am:    I have a 94 disco that has a seemingly unrepairable problem! It just wont start, and seems to have a mind of it's own of course it is a Land rover.My truck has been worked on by the dealer and myself, resulting only in more grey hair and a shortage in my bank account!! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the symptoms: first off it has fire one minute and none the next.I have a genuine workshop manuel and have completed all ignition fault tests over and over.This covers the ign. coil, amplifier,distributer,pickup etc.All tests are satisfactory which confuses me greatly. I have replaced the coil, amplifier, plugs, rotor cap/arm, and even the distributer.The distributer was replaced because there are no pickup and baseplates on planet earth.I have a new fuel pump and that whole system seems ok. All fuses and relays seem to be ok as well. While waiting on the pickup for several months I decided to bite the bullet and order the distributer.But before it got there I decided to try starting it, and after 3 or 4 months of setting it fired right up and and ran beutifuly for about an hour and then just stopped like someone flipped a switch! It did the exact same thing after fitting the new distributer.By the way it does have the remote amplifier kit, which I replaced with a new kit but didnt change a thing The story just continues, ask me and I'll tell you more PLEASE HELP!!!   Dee Posted on Monday, June 24, 2002 - 08:03 pm:    You My 88 RR did the similar thing final cause was a very baddly worn timing set. It kept messing with the timing and would confuse the ECU, It would run fine one day then the next it would idle like shit then the ECU light would pop up. I would dissconnect the neg lead and let sit for 10 min. then all would be well as long as i did not have to idle very long.. Good Luck. who told you there are no PU plates?
