i have a 98 dixcovery lse that will not start. it sounds like it is starving for fuel so i changed the fuel filter which was clogged but it still wont start so any info on how to get that beast back on the road would be great.

 

How many miles do you have on your vehicle? What has led up to it not starting? Any symptoms prior to you replacing the fuel filter?

 

the vehicle has had no prior symtoms my check engine light came on just a little before hand and it has 158287 miles on it

 

It is either the fuel pump or the fuel temp sensor.
Put your ear to the floor of the cargo area, have someone turn the key to the run postion, if you hear a electric motor running then the fuel pump is working and it is the fuel temp sensor.

 

I would check the fuel pressure at the rail, should have alot of pressure if you push the shrader valve.

 

where is the fuel temp sensor at and is there any way to bypass that to see if it will start and if it is the fuel pump where is it located and how do i replace that

 

how would i go about checking that pressure and where is it located at

 

Take the cap off of the valve and with the engine off, press in on the valve, if you only get a small flow, the pump is bad, if it want to squirt out a couple feet the pressure is good.

 

The pressure vavle is on the right side of the engine on the fuel rail, it looks like a tire valve.

 

i have checked the pressure and its week so is there any thing else i can do to see if its a fuel pump and is there any thing else that would caus e the fuel pump to not work properly
