    Out of Gas Discovery II

    push the black inertia switch (about 1 sq. inch in size) which is on the passenger side firewall under the hood. Put at least 3 gallons of fuel in the tank. Turn the ignition switch on and off 3 times or so and then crank. I ran out of gas 4 times and drained the battery 2 times before I...

    New vs. Used Mass Air Sensors/ 97 Disco

    How do you test the Mass Air Flow Sensor? My DII 2004 with 140k miles is in limp mode. I'm assuming it is my MAS. (P0102, P1319,P1884, P1174 and random misfires) I've cleaned it good with Brak-leen with no success. I would like to test it to make sure it is broke before i buy a new one. The...

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    Oh i forgot, my coolant pump just broke and the coolant was coming out of the small weep hole in the casting by the pump shaft. I realized this only after replacing the pump gasket and the leak was still there.

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    I never kept track of the oil being used - i'm guessing Pennzoil at the Quick Lube shop. I had my heads resurfaced, and valves reconditioned. I had the machine shop clean the valve covers, rockers, and push rods. I sprayed several cans of degreaser in the engine, and removed the lifters to...

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    Every cylinder head bolt was extremely tight and required a cheater / breaker bar and a friend! 4 bolts were hidden under sludge and oil. The tools that worked best for me were a craftsman small breaker bar, 3 foot cheater (pipe) on the breaker bar, 5/8 impact socket, and short extension (plus...

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    Well, i let my wife drive the rover one morning and the coolant gushed out the back of the engine. If you pour coolant in the tank, it immediately pours out the back of the engine, almost as quickly as pouring it in. I have removed the valley pan and i'm about the take both heads off and have...

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    finally got the coolant system pressure tested. the leak is coming from the head on the drivers side at back of the engine by the firewall. there's possibly a leak in the same head at the front of the engine. no leak from the water pump or trottle body. the electric fan runs when the ac is...

    Still Overheating after new fan and flush

    I have a 2004 Discovery with 150k. I replaced the Tstat several years ago because the plastic corroded causing a leak; both coil packs !? flushed the radiator and refilled with water wetter and orange coolant; got a new viscous fan, but the truck stills overheats in the car pool line. The temp...

    New battery - no IDM to BCU communication!

    Thanks for the reply Greg409. i'm an idiot once again. when i installed the CPS incorrectly by placing the spacers on first, the car would not start, of course. I thought the computer had to reprogram itself, so i disconnected the battery (and bought a new battery needlessly). when i...

    New battery - no IDM to BCU communication!

    I've tried everything to get my 2004 Discovery started after i put in a new CPS and new battery. The alarm, windows, locks, and gear shift do not respond. I've tried the key in position II for 5 minutes; the 4 locks and unlocks; holding the key in unlock position for 4 seconds; the 1515...

    2004 Discovery Stalled while driving!

    New Battery and i still have the M & S and D flashing and the SES, oil, and battery light stay on. I've tried keeping the ignition on for 5 minutes to allow the IDM to communicate with the BCU but it will not. I've unplugged the bus to the IDM and the BCU -- still nothing. I still can not get...

    Is my inertia switch broke?

    im desperate! i had intermittent stalling. i changed the crank position sensor (but did not put on the cover). no fuel pressure at fuel rail. no power at fuel pump. jumped the fuel pump hot side directly to the battery, the ground was jumped to the fuel pump multiplug. the fuel pump...

    2004 Discovery Stalled while driving!

    i jumped the fuel pump directly from the battery and the fuel pump worked. the fuel rail had pressure. without the jumper, the voltage was constant and did not reach 13v (im not an electrician) i unpluged the inertia switch and tried to bypass the switch with a jumper. it didn't seem to work...

    Can't find Fuel Rail Schraeder Valve

    there is fuel pressure at the fuel rail. and i just replaced the crank position sensor. but, i still cannot start the truck. i'm thinking its either fuel or electrical. electrical because the truck stalled 2 times just after i turned the AC on. also, my doors lock and unlocked improperly...

    2004 Discovery Stalled while driving!

    i think i lost my other post. anyway i need to check the fuel system. i found the shraeder valve, depressed the valve and fuel shot out (while in ignition position 2). i felt and heard the hum of the IACV. after i replaced the crank position sensor (properly plugged in), it has never...

    2004 Discovery Stalled while driving!

    i think i should move to solve the fuel issue. i finally found the shraeder valve and depressed the stem. fuel shot out. i checked it with the ignition in position II (start position i think). I heard and felt the hum of the IACV. after i replaced the crank position sensor (fully pulled in)...

    Can't find Fuel Rail Schraeder Valve

    For the life of me I can't find the schraeder valve on the fuel rail. I read that it is on the driver's side and may have a cap on it. And that it is in the back of the engine. I have a 2004 Discovery. Can someone give me more guidance? Thanks

    2004 Discovery Stalled while driving!

    it doesn't seem like a fuel problem. it was accelerating fine all morning. it died. i pushed the inertia switch (it was not activated). after 30 minutes or so, it started and drove 10 miles or so and died again. after another 30 minutes, it started. the temp gauge was normal (though it ran...
