0280150746 is different injector. 0280155746 is the one. There's a sneaky 5 in there. That is where I ordered them though: http://www.fuelinjector.citymaker.com/catalog/edit_catalog_items.cfm/4511825

Mega Squirt III....hmmm don't temp me

The more I think about it the more I suspect the injectors. I always noticed the fuel pressure never lasted too long, and it does seem to run a little rich.
Excellent.

Too late, your tempted.

FPR needs checking if pressure doesn't hang long. Expensive part.

The crank position sensor has a shielded cable. The sensor wires are brown and green. The white wire is the shield, and should read a short to frame ground with an ohm meter. Might have gotten broken with all the work.

I realize you told us the county you are in does not have inspections, but can you do something like that and still get away with it?

I've been looking into the Ford injectors. Some recommend the Bosch 0280150556 but Discovery Land Rover Fuel Injectors - Land Rover Fuel Injection - FiveOMotorsport.com recommends different parts. Have you used them?
We had one new member do a lot of swapping with injectors and he didn't gain anything as I recall.

He will have a damn near new one soon at this rate!

not to mention be about 1000x more reliable than the stock stuff... and easier to troubleshoot, and allow you to eek some more MPGs out of the thing...

i intend to do that to my rig once ive shaken out the rest of the truck mechanically

stoichiometric mixture

Is that air/fuel mix by any chance?

So what does one of them total in dollars? I went to their site and they do not show anything regarding a Discovery, so is anyone using those on a Discovery? Why do you plug them?

No emissions or visual inspections means I can do whatever I want to it. And most of what I want is illegal Those CARB hippies can kiss my ***.

Speaking of illegal, Mega Squirt is illegal no matter where you are, even if it reduces emmisions and increases safety, but by this point who cares.

Mega Squirt is basically a universal, more reliable, customizable ECU that you have to figure out how to wire on your own.

Most of us do have to abide by some of the laws to get a sticker since it is a post 1996 vehicle, but if you can get away with it.
