Started having issues getting my 99 Disco 1 v8i advanced evaps 4.0 only 93K with no Mods.
I would have to turn it over 4-5 times and pump the accelerator rapidly and it would chug back to life. On the highway I noticed that it would cut in and out as if the coil pack was going out. Luckily I made the 290 mile trip back home! Since then no go!
The fuel pump wasn't coming on when I switched the ign. to pos. 2. I tested the continuity which thankfully didn't read '0' and voltage at the pump read 5.04v? after some research, I found out it's supposed to be getting 12+ volts for a few seconds to get the fuel rail primed, then drops to 5.04v.
Not getting the 12v?
thought maybe the multifunction relay was jacked up so I cracked it open, very carefully mind you, and its doing its thing, which means the ECU is also! Whats equally aggravating is that I was hoping it would be a cheapo relay behind the RH kick panel but it is not used with my specific odd-ball model!:mad:
What am I missing? I would seriously appreciate any input.
