Hi Guys

I have a 95 Discovery with a 3.9L V8. It had a head gasket leaking. I replace the head gaskets. I finished it today. When it started it ran for a few minutes and died. All it is doing is cranking over. I am getting fuel and getting spark. I am lost. Do you guys have any ideas I can try? Also does anyone have a good vacuum diagram for the Discovery?

Thank You
Walter

 

how have you confirmed spark and fuel pressure?

 

Hi
I have check the spark at the coil and I took out #1 spark plug and it also was getting fire. I can smell gas.

 

if I was you before I went any further I would confirm fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge..just smelling it's there isn't enough

 

Hi

Where does the vacuum line for the FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR hook to or where it goes?


Thank You

 

There is a schrader valve on the fuel rail that you test fuel pressure with.
It has a cap on it, it looks like a tire valve.

 

HI

I have a 95 Discovery and the key will not come out of the ignition switch. when you turn the to when you push the key in to turn it the rest of the way to take it out of the switch it will not turn. If you unhook the battery the switch works fine. Do you guys have any ideas?


Thank You

 

Yes, this one is easy.
Pop the trim piece off of the top of the transmission gear shifter and tighten the nut inside the shift ****.
You cannot remove the key because the truck does not think you are all the way in park.
Tighten that nut and then it will go all the way into park and the key will come out.

After you do that try and start it.

 

Hi Guys

Tonight I went out to try and start the 95 Discovery to see if it starts. Turned the key and the motor made a boom. I looked to see what it was and the back side of the Intake gasket came apart. This is the 3rd time this happened on this motor. Do you guy have any ideas why this is blowing the back side of the gasket?

Thank You
Walter

 

hmm its blowing the intake gasket? can you post a pic?
