There are a few minor demons that have plagued my manual tranny 95' Disco I since I picked it up a little over a year ago....Any advice is much appreciated.
1) Trouble starting. When cold, it cranks and cranks before it fires. When it does fire, there is a strong gasoline smell in the air. Spark plugs have been replaced, along with the distributor cap and fuel filter, all to no avail. It happens much worse after being driven for longer distances (300+ miles) then allowed to sit overnight. In one instance, she took over 4 minutes of cranking, waiting, cranking, before she fired.
2) ABS and SRS lights. Both are on. The ABS is working fine, and luckily, I've yet to collision test the SRS. The main problem is in getting the codes read without taking it to a dealer or maxing out my credit card at RoversNorth. Can anyone direct me on getting the codes read?
3) The alarm will not arm. While driving down the interstate, the doors locked themselves on their own several times. After that, the handset quit working. I replaced the batteries, no change. I took my shop manual and attempted to arm the alarm manually by switching the key and manipulating the hood in sequence. I'm fairly sure I did it right, and it would not arm. Relay to the ECU, or busted alarm? Any aftermarket alarms that are fairly inexpensive and easy to install?
Any and all help is appreciated....
