I drive a 1996 Disco 4.0 (automatic) with 53,000 and the truck is just starting to stall now when I come to a stop. We are just starting to get into some warmer weather here in PA (around 65-75) and it seems to have a relation with the temperature. I regularly run 87 octane gas in this truck to. The only modifications that I have made to the truck in the past 6 months are that I have added the Air Force One air intake system, new Magnecore wires and new Bosch plugs. Could this have anything to do with the cheaper gas and it being the winter blend? I happens after about 30 minutes of average driving in town. I drove for a good hour or so last night in 50 degree temps and nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Thanks tons~

It's important to run 92+ Octane. I'ts a few more bucks at each fill up but in the long run it'll pay off.

I am having the exact same issue with mine. I am wondering if I need to have the base idle changed. I am running 92 octane and have never put in anything less. I do not think it has anything to do with gas what so ever.

Let me know what you find.

I raised my idle this weekend... Man is that easy. Like I stated before I am running high octane gas and I was having the same problem when the weather got warm.. So far so good...no stalling.. give it a day or two though and I am sure a gremlin will reset everything.

I have had same problem with my 95 Discovery when it was 65K miles on it last Feb. I raised base idle and the symptom was gone for a couple of month and it happened again once last week!
I heard this sympton is related to TPS(Throttle positioning sensor)somewhere and adjusting base idle might be just temporary solution.
