HELLO fellow disco'erz..............new to site and my new to me 1998 discovery ,160k , green , stock.....been lerking here for a few days...AWESOME SITE GUYZ!!!!! i am very hands on w/ my vehicles and do most my own work........so here it goes..... i just bought this sunday and yesterday the check engine light came on....I AM DOING THE 60K THIS WEEKEND!!!!!.......anywho , "amber" light on....i checked codes and got 2

P0300 = RANDOM-MULTIPLE MISFIRE DETECTED
&
P1316 = MANUFACTURER CONTROLLED IGNITION SYSTEM or MISFIRE

hoping the 60k will cure...but incase these codes mean something extra to you EXPERTS....any help would be appreciated!!!!

do the 60k service and you should be fine, new plugs and GOOD wires will make a big diff.
good luck and keep us posted

 

X2 the 60K service (8mm Wires and cheap Champion plugs)fixed those same codes on my 96 Disco I.

 

okay...well i have NOT gotten to the transfer case or the diffs...but all the rest is DONE till sunday afternoon when i have more time.The 60k so far has helped a TON !!! not only does she purr like a kitten now, but because of the check over i found i need both rear rotors (prior owner never turned rotors/ just put new pads, now they are scarred ! I also found 3 vacuum leaks (rotten hose ends).....power steering reservoir is leaking at the stock band type clap .......ALOT!.......and the worst news i have a broken (me guessing here) ("throttle return spring"????) there are two on the bracket that the accelerator cable hook too...... the one closest to the intake is BUSTED
so i pose another question......there is a guy here in town who has a DISCO2 on craigslist.com he is parting out......could i get this part (spring or whole bracket) off his D2 ??????
sorry so many newbie questions....this is all new to me!
and i really do appreciate all your help...and fast replies too!!!!
