Morning Starting Issue
Did you look at the fuel feed line from the filler door to the tank?
If you got no hiss, you got a leak somewhere or very weak pump. With my new filler hose and new fuel pump assembly I get one hell of a hiss anytime I crack open the gas cap. Lasts for several seconds. But I also have a new cap, due to driving off and leaving mine behind one day.
I don't know how the IACV could contribute to that, but I don't know everything so.................................

Btw, the truck fired up immediately (turned the key without waiting for the pump) this morning, with zero hesitation. I remain skeptical that the problem is solved, but we'll see as the temps get cooler here over the next month.
My wife loves hers as well. It has its quirks, too, but I don't worry about it leaving me stranded--something always in the back of my mind while driving the Rover.

You can always throw a bike or a small scooter in the back of the Disco for emergency transport.

Without meaning to sound like that member that posts nothing more than shoe advertisements, here is what I have worn for the past 5 years, and nothing else (I know how that sounds; get your minds out of the gutter; I mean I haven't worn anything else on my feet):

I think I found my boots.
I just need to make damn sure they are water proof.

And that they will last longer than 6 months.
The only pair of boots I have had that lasted longer than that was a pair of Teva's that I got for free from a Land Rover promo.

LOL Okdisco. That was funny.
Spike, you know I am a paramedic and we are notorious for trashing boots. I have only had one pair that lasted longer than 6 months and that is the pair I am currently wearing. They are Doc Martin slip ons with a composite "steel" toe so they are lighter than a regular steel toe. I have had them a year and they still look great. I don't see them wearing out any time soon. I paid 80 bucks for them at Academy. They have composite shanks for ankle support. I realize you may not like slip ons at all but they are an awesome boot. Zippers and laces never last longer than 3 months for me so thats why I had to go to a slip on. Anyway, just thought I would throw that out for you since this thread turned into a work shoe thread lol.
