3.9 v8 Discovery wont start....

<< < (8/8)

LANDYTIM:
COULD THIS PROBLEM BE CAUSED BY THE IMOBILISER SPIDER??

nigel purnell:
The thing on the side of the Dizzy is an amplifier and costs a lot. Mine overheated on a trial section and the engine would not start similar probs to yours. i changed it with a remote unit from land rover as this is a frequent problem. To change it you need to take out the dizzy,becarful with rotor arm they sometimes break on the shaft bit  best to fit new one anyway.  Ive changed nearly ever electrical unit on my v8 including re chipping the ecu .  Nigel 

LANDYTIM:
She is running!!! had her all timed up and sorted all HT leads and checked them and she is running better than before, needless to say it was all wrong!!

mr_disco:
hi landytim

if you have had a look at the distributer cap,, hav u adjusted or moved it at all if so that can cause the rough ride and back firing,,

start the jeep and leave it tick over then losen the distributer and just slightly adjust it.. u will hear you engine get better or worse but will get there in the end it might my 180 degress out see m8

just a idea :-k
