Help problems
got a 2000 disco with some problems i have yet to figure out. It was driving like it was running out of gas or maybe the trans. was going to drop I dont know so i took it in. they couldnt find anything wrong with it. couple days later it did it again but much more severe so i took it back no codes so i had them put new plugs in. drove like a dream for a DAY! no check engine light nothing the next day it was all back but worse. so I replaced the wires, the plenum gasket. ran some sea foam thru it and some engine stuff in the oil. still the same, but getting worse. took the 02 plugs off to see if the converters were pluged loud but still no power. idles great but if try to drive it check engine light flashs no power going up hill ,vibrates etc WHAT COULD IT BE AHHH sratching my head any help would be greatly appreciated. keep in mind im not a mechanic. id id have the head gaskets and coolant system redone awhile ago not long enough for it to be a problem it does have 230,000 milesbut starts and idles like a dream always put good gas in it and synthetic oil changes. thanks

 

Have you replaced the crank position sensor?

 

ok, lets start from the beginning.

Do you have any codes to give us.? There is a little plug under the driver's side dash known as an OBD2 port. You can get codes with a scan tool from this port. If you have a check engine light on, then it has registered codes and without those codes, we cant help.

With everything you did, have your checked your MAF sensor.?

 

get back to you guys with the codes
