I was driving my 2000 disco 2 today and it just stopped running without any warning. I tried starting it and it would turn over but never fire off. After about 15 minutes it started up and ran great for about 10 minutes then it died again. This went on for about an hour until I left it and got a ride home. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what it could be?

 

Crank position sensor.

 

Crankshaft position sensor. Classic symptoms. Virtually no doubt about the cause.

 

x2. Best part is that it's super easy install. Unplug, unscrew and reverse to install. Drivers side halfway up. Easily reachable from underneath the truck. The attached diagram is a funny angle but should get you where you need to be. Your local parts store will have this in stock. Good luck dude.

Crank shaft position sensor was exactly what was wrong with it. Thanks guys for the help! The disco is back up and running.
