Looking back through this thread there was a lot of information, so I decided to compile it for anyone who may need it.
Initial Problem: Purchased the 1998 Discovery for $600, spark was intermittent and it would not start (engine turned over).
Discovered fuse blown in the engine...

Think I found a solution. I am going to glue a tab and see if it fixes it. If it does I have a friend that can weld it. I will let you know if that fixes my issues.
Last night I noticed coils for 8&5, and 3&2 cut out. 6&1, and 4&7 do not. I swaped both sets and the problem did NOT follow the coil. It still cut out on 8&5 and 3&2. I believe the high idle is from swapping the ECU, I read were it has to be reset for the throttle sensor. The missing is what has...
Cleaned the intake, IAC, but it still idles high. I did figure out it cuts out badly when cold and will backfire out the exhaust if you rev the motor. Once it warms up the miss is much less and it is drivable. I took it down the highway and it ran good, but if you floor it would stumble at...
DISCO MIKE HELP!!!! When I put a timing light on the plugs everything fires great until you press the throttle. The light will blink off for a second or two like it looses power? Any idea what to do next? One important part is that it will not run with the fuel temp switch plugged...
For anyone else: I finally found a Rave I could download.

Ok I installed the Cam Sensor and it fired up but it idles great with no miss. I took it for a ride and quickly realized it cuts out going up a hill or trying to accelerate. When I got back home I realized I had left the fuel pressure sensor plug unplugged. (A guy on another forum told me to...
I changed spark plugs and got it to fire up. It ran terrible like before back firing and hesitant on the throttle. Shut it off and it won't crank again. It smoked terribly as well like it wasn't burning all the gas. You still think it is computor?
Ok I did a little research and I did not test the crank sensor properly. I didn't realize it is AC not DC. I retested with AC and it read 1.08 to 1.24 so it is working. Now what?
I checked for voltage from the crank sensor at the ECU plug while the motor was turning over and it didn't register anything. I did see a minus at one time but nothing else. Does that mean it isn't working?
How does the crank sensor ground to the bellhousing? Mine is all plastic that touches the bellhousing. I ohmed the wires and they are not showing to be touching, but they did ohm good back to the ECM plug. I will hopefully get to try to get a voltage reading tomorrow. It got late tonight and...
thanks for valid input Mark. I did swap ECM's with the matching alarm box. I was told you don't have to reprogram them if you do both. I will ohm out the crank and see if wires are fused I will also try and test it with the motor turning over.
I also found the knock sensor on the drivers side wires were completly melted together. I rewired the sensor and reconnected, but it made no change as well.
1998 Land Rover Discovery LSE– not sure the series but it does not have a distributor (wish it did!) best I can tell it is a discovery 1.
4.0L automatic transmission has 150K miles on it, does not have catalytic converters.
I purchased the rover over two months ago for my son who turns 16...
