2001 D2 no start
Ok i hope someone can help my frustration. I have a 2001 D2 SE7 just over 100k thats not starting. All of this started about 3 weeks ago. It stalled just after I started it up, then it took a bit longer to start. This was the first time it has ever stalled. It ran great for about 2 days.
Then one morning I started it and drove it about a block, stopped to get the mail and it stalled right there. It cranked over but would not start. Throughout the day I had tried starting it untill the battery died. I had a buddy come over to jump it, and it started right up (probably coincidence). So I replaced the battery. The next morning it wouldn't start. it was about 11 in the morning and i'd say about 70 degrees (not too cold). I waited a few hours and it started, but it would hesitate a little, so to keep it from stalling I had to keep on the accelerator. after it warmed up, it ran fine for a few days. I learned to let it warm up before taking off. A few days ago it wouldn't start at all, and that's where it sits. After cranking it for a bit I can smell fuel under the hood, so that tells me the fuel pump is working, right? The only codes I ever got was, P0300-multiple misfires and P0303-Misfire on #3. I was reading about several people that had the same situations I had, so I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, still no start!
I have been reading all the forums and trying to figure out what is going on. Without a lot of money its hard to try several different things without getting results. I know your all going to say, "welcome to Land Rover ownership". My wife is saying "get rid of it", but i just cant!
Any help would be great.
Thank you all in advance.

I had same thing , but I got SES light and codes for multiple misfires .I just changed fuel to premium and added injector cleaner aditive in each full tank of fuel and my SES light is gone and truck runs better .For winter I always use premium , it is easier to start the truck in the morning here in Quebec.

Take a look at my post at the top of this section regarding service. This truck need some serious maintance and we can walk you thru it, or you can go to the dealer and for $1200 to $1400 you can have them do it.
There is also one other possibility, you may have a failing crank sensor so let us know if it continues to act up.

I will start using premium from now on, that's for sure. I thought I had a failed Crank Position sensor so I replaced it, still nothing. Right now I'm just trying to get it to start. If I can get it to start, I'll put a can of BG 44k in. Since this is my primary car, getting it running is the first thing. Once it's running I'll start all my necessary maintenance.
Thanks for all your input. Keep it coming.
