RE: Airborne school
I replaced the coil pack, I dont remember the price.....275 sounds about right.
The cats were shot, driverside had a bunch of crud that would clang around - destroyed the o2 sensor. I replaced all four o2 sensors and welded in the new cat system - the one from AB that is kind of a y looking pipe with the cats, from header to muffler.
I also replased all the other usual stuff - oil, filters plugs etc... I am going to replace the ecu with one from a salvaged disco - same numbers. If that doesnt do it I will replace the crank sensor then maybe tear into the valves and clean them up - just dreading the valve job is all.

I am about to send my truck to airborne school! I have seen this question posted before, hopefully this might become a stickey and get into detail....
I have the ever popular and dreaded 13,14 and 16 codes. Took it to a mechanic (dealership) and they gave me an estimate (10k - smoking crack they are) and a list of things to fix. I replaced the 02 sensors (all four), both cats (a new system form AB), coil pack (s), belt (drive), plugs, wires and filters. Still have the problem and codes. grrrrrr.
It has the intermitent sputtering problem I hear all the cool rides are getting these days. Just driving along, minding my own buisness and poof, crappy responce, crappy accelaration, crappy sounds. Like the motor is under stress/load. I can give it gas and get hardly a reaction....so I will continue driving, as this usually happens in a buisy intersection, and suddenly....well, more like progressively, the problem will go away and respond as it should, untill I come to another stop sign or light.
Any ideas? Mike????

RE: Airborne school
You need to do a pressure test on the cooling system. AutoZone rents pressure testers.
You put the tester on the radiator inplace of the radiator cap, pump up the PSI and wait, if it holds you are good, if not then you have a leak.
Remove the cap on the oil filler and look under the cap, is it covered with a white goop?
If they looked at the oil while you has Seafoam in it then they are thinking that that is water.

RE: Airborne school
How does it run? If it is running fine then I would wait for the ECU to lean the new O2's.
You could also try resetting the emissions reminder. Go to www.discoweb.org and click the tech tab under their banner and look for "resetting the emissions reminder", or something to that effect.
