The other day at work when I went to leave at the end of the day my 2001 disco 2 would turn over fine but would never fire off. The next day it started fine. It has happened to more times since then and yesterday after having problems starting I drove about a mile and it shut of. After it shut off I notice the D for drive was flashing and the green M and S after I turned the key to the off position waited a few minutes it started back up. No lights on. My first guess is a fuel pump but I figured I would ask the experts on here first. Thanks in advance.

 

Earth (ground) fault. Im working through one at the moment. Check battery terminals and all ground points.

 

After reading another thread I am thinking it might be the crank positioning sensor. Any thoughts?

 

check for oil leaking from the valve covers on to the crank position sensor if they are you can experiance this problem

 

sound like ckps you can check it with a obd2 scanner, check the rpm while cranking 0 rpms = ckps.

 

Exactly what Drowss said. No signal = cps. At least it did on my intermittent no start. Changed it out and it has been fine for over a month now. I made a thread and he also linked me to another guy who cut a access door as I wound up doing the same. Thanks again...!!!

Well I just finished replacing the CPS. Took me about a hour and a half if I could of gotten to the plug a little easy would of been under a hour. It had obviously been replaced before because the plug that the new sensor had to snap into was not in its clip. I had to use a bunch I mean a bunch of lube to get my four arm to slide past the exhaust but I eventually got it all put back together. Crossing my fingers that the problem is fixed.

THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELP!!
