Losing power at high speeds
Just bought a '97 Disco I from a friend. Absolutely love it!!! However, on the highway going about 70mph it will randomly loose power. I don't know how to discribe it except that I can hear and feel it loose power and then it goes right back to normal. I looked for previous post to find the solution, but couldn't find any. Please help! Greatly appreciated!! - Paul

Power loss....
This was the first issue that I had that ultimately led to a fuel pump replacement. However, I "ignored" it for about 3 weeks, and replaced the fuel filter at the same time as the pump.
Hindsight and all that - I would listen to Disco Mike and start with the filter.

Your filter "sock" is attached to the pump, in the tank. As for what specifically is causing it - I'm at a loss as well.
For $90 you can get the Airtex replacement, with the sock and swap it out (30 minute job MAX) to see if that's the issue.
That is what I ended up doing and it corrected my issue.
Or the VSS route. At this point, with no codes or additional information...there really isn't much else I can think of.
Of course, others may say that 70 is only for passing :-)
Hope you figure it out!

All DI's have a replaceable fuel filter.
