1997 Discovery SE 7 SW suburbs of Chicago
I've had this baby for 10 years. Black with tan interior. Needs to be restored or can be parted out. 138000 miles. Jump seats in the rear in good shape. Pretty rough overall but runs decent. AC works but leaks and must be recharged once a summer. No dents but paint shows its age... -

Disco Turns Over but will not Start
Hi Mike. Thanks. I put a new fuel pump motor in about 18 months ago. I reset the alarm and the inertia switch then cleaned the fuse connection under the hood then the plug connection at the pump. It fired up with one turn of the key. Funny, I'll never know which of these was the... -

Disco Turns Over but will not Start
Thanks Joey. I forgot about the alarm trick. It worked for me before. I used to know all this when I used to fawn over my baby but sadly over the past couple of years my sons drive it more then I do. Thanks again. -

1997 SE 7 137000 miles Every couple of years or so my oil light starts to flicker when idling. I found that this was being caused by a clogged oil strainer which is located in the sump, or oil pan. To clean it you have to drop the pan but if you do it you will be amazed at the amount of... -

Installed new cats now wont start
Pulled the four relays behind the passenger kickplate and the immobilizer switch and I now have a "Check Engine" light and readable codes again. I am going to replace all four relays. Can the Disco run without the immobilizer switch? Probably not. If that is bad I'll see if the... -

Installed new cats now wont start
Changed the crank sensor (I actually had one that I never installed because of where it is located). Still wont start and my Check Engine light does not come on when I turn the key on. This problem started after I removed and installed new cats. Started fine after I changed out the... -

Installed new cats now wont start
Im thinking I may have somehow disconnected the crankshaft sensor. Looking in my shop manual it says the crankshaft is the most important sensor on the engine. I'll look at it and report back. Thanks, -

Installed new cats now wont start
Also when I was going to clear codes before starting the code reader said LINK ERROR. Tried starting this morning-no fuel to engine still. But I think the LINK ERROR message on my code reader may give you a clue to what I accidentally disconnected when I removed the passenger side cat...
