I just bought this car sight unseen from a dealer about 3 and half hours from me. It ran fine for a day or so and then when the car was started after sitting for awhile it would misfire. I called the dealer and he said it was a fault with a fuel pressure sensor and he is sending me one, but I don't have it yet. This dealer specializes in LR and says he has the factory diagnostic software, so I think he might have bought this thing with a problem and then thought he had it fixed when he sold it to me. I bought an LRII code reader off of Amazon to see if there were any codes I wasn't seeing with my generic obd2 reader, but there weren't. Misfires on 2, 4, 6, 8, random multiple misfires, misfires in the 1st 1000 revolutions. I tried to look at the readings from the fuel pressure sensors on the diagnostic tool but it is not the easiest platform to use. After sitting overnight if I try to start the car it usually won't start and smells like unburned gas, however if I hold the throttle down to put it in clear flood mode and let it turn over for a while before trying to start it it will usually then start. My question is has anyone experienced anything like this? I originally thought it might be an injector hanging open, but it runs fine after starting. We drove it 8.5 hours to OK last weekend and it did great and got 18 mpg by hand calculation (21 by the computer), so whatever it is it only happens when sitting.
