Starting Issues on RRC

[Elsmere]

Hi all!

This is my very first post so please forgive me as it's a question.

I am new to RRC ownership and so far it has been a struggle.

She is a gorgeous 3.9 EFI Vogue with badlands/borderlands kit in a deep blue. She's my first and I'm in love but no matter what I do she just won't start.

She tries her best to fire but never quite makes it, she haas had a new, cap, rotor arm, leads, plugs, oil, filter. I can smell fuel and the plugs do get wet.

Is there a fuel cut off or a ECU reset I am missing?

I found a bad earth that I will fix tomorrow but hooked it up to the Neg battery terminal and still she won't go.

Any help is much appretiated and you have my thanks in advance.

Jon

Welcome to the forum.

How many miles? have you changed the fuel filter... check fuel pressure at the fuel rail?

What year is it?

Type of plugs are you using?

Hi there!

It's a 93' 3.9 EFI Vogue SE with 86,000 miles on the clock.

I atempted the fuel filter yesterday but couldn't get it undone so soaked it up in P38.

Whats the best way to check for fuel pressure? all the plugs seem to get wet and I can smell fuel a lot up front.

The plugs are NGK BPR6ES

Sounds like your getting fuel the... so spark is probably the issue...

When you bought it, did it run? Have you cleaned the flame trap? What brand of Cap did you buy.... Lots of things to remember about older RR is they tend to be very picky.

Caps genuine item, but the flame trap? You've lost me on that one.

Just gonna swap over the coil from my other 88' Range Rover to see if the spark improves.

Cheers,

Flame trap is located on passenger side (usa model) valve cover, looks like a small can... that and in the hose coming out of it is a 'T' connections, this also can be clogged.
