had the disco scanned the other day and it ran codes for a misfire in 2 cylinders. removed spark plugs and wires. cleaned and reinstalled and it went away. had disco scanned again today and it ran P1884- transmission transfer case disengaged solenoid short to ground, and engine coolant level lamp circuit short to ground.

does anyone have any suggestions.

also replacing MAF, seems to be running rich and having problems in low end acceleration.

 

When was the last time it had a tune up?

 

im in the process of doing some work on it but..i try to avoid a dealership as much as possible due to the price. I havent done it since i owned it and ive had for almost 2 years. shame on me, but do you have any suggestions for the wiring? I dont have much electrical experience.

 

Well most of the running rich problems are due to bad plugs and wires.
You must use either Magnecor plug wires or Land Rover wires.
The Magnecors are the best choice of the two.
When was the last time you changed your air filter? A dirty air filter will cause it to run rich as well.
That is where I would start, plugs and wires.
I do not know anything about that code that you have, but the mis fires are bad plugs and wires.

 

i have magnecores on the way. as for the air filter i changed it about 1 month ago but recently i made a custom short ram intake. the problem started before the custom intake.

 

You can get your spark plugs at any auto parts store.

 

when i did theair filter i put in Bosch platinum 4+.

 

magnecores took a alot longer to get here. still not here for that matter

 

Do your self a big favor, don't clean or replace the MAF, you have no codes or other indicators of it failing.
Now for the 1884, that is one of Rovers biggest fault codes, let me short you the short versioin.
1884:
Engine friction invalid
Engine TPS invalid
Rngine temp. invalid
Road speed invalid
Road torque invalid
Engine speed invalid
Engine air intake temp invalid
Last but not least, Altitude shift control invalid

Now where do you want to start? The only thing you can do is find a mechanic with a really high end scanner that can check each of these to find which is the problem and repair it.
Let us know what you find.

 

thanks mike. will do so and get back to you.
