Won't Start - Page 3 - Land Rovers Only

Just a thought... have you checked the coolant temp sensor for the ECU? Could have crapped out and your getting the wrong mixture at start up.

where are you checking the spark at?

Only thing I can figure is the coil is shot. It may still spark, but maybe it does not have enough juice to light the fuel????? I'm stumped.....

Once I went through a car wash, my LR died, and it would turn over fine. Everything seemed okay, but it wouldn't start. I thought something had gotten wet, so I let it sit for a couple of hours. I went back and it just turned over. I'm not sure why, but I opened up the passenger side footwell and switched like relays around. There are lots of yellow ones, a couple of green ones, etc. After switching them around, it started right up. I'm still not sure what was wrong, but I promptly went and bought several of each and replaced them. No problem with that since. Might be worth a try...just costs some time.

Funrover · 05-12-2006, 08:41 PM

Well....after a bit..Looks like a fuel pump that has issues!!!! I knew it'd be something dumb!!!

Not to mention expensive! I hope you are back on the road. (Hey!, it was fun playing "Can you diagnose this problem"...that's why we all have LRs) ..
