Hello,

My land rover is not starting up. It ran fine a few days ago then out of nowhere the whole car turned off on me. I get spark,fuel and the battery is good. It cranks but won't start. I changed the plugs and wires about 4 months ago. I changed the crank shaft position sensor today. I really don't know what else to do. If you could please help me, it would be much appreciated.

 

Do you have any codes?

 

did you check the fuse box under the hood and under the steering column?

 

I had the same problem a few weeks back it was my ignition control module. Its like a $125-150 part. Hope this helps you out

 

I haven't checked the fuses under the steering column. And I haven't scanned it for codes yet either. I'm going to check it out again today and I will keep you guys updated. Thanks again

 

The only code that came up was P1668.

 

that explains everything. lol.

do you use super lock? hit the lock button twice on the key fob?

if you have a code reader. clear the code and try unlocking the truck with the key fob by hitting the unlock button twice on the key fob and start the truck within 30 seconds. it should turn over.

the immobliser is keeping the truck from turning over.

SYMPTOM VERIFICATION OF ACTIVATED PASSIVE IMMOBILIZATION

1. Unlock the vehicle and wait one minute.

2. With the ignition off, verify that the anti-theft alarm LED in the instrument pack blinks slowly.

3. Turn the ignition key to position "II" and verify the alarm LED is on continuously. This indicates an immobilized condition.

4. Check that Passive Immobilization is on by attempting to start the vehicle with the LED on continuously.

5. If the vehicle does not start, confirm that Passive Immobilization is turned on as follows:

^ Turn off ignition and remove the key.

^ Press the unlock button on the plip once.

^ Attempt to restart the vehicle within 30 seconds.

^ If the vehicle starts normally, Passive Immobilization is activated. The BCU must be replaced or reprogrammed by Land Rover after contacting the LRNA HelpLine.

 

Scares me to then use super lock.
How does superlock get into this mode?

Lucky for me - I forget the LR2 can do this super lock mode..

 

Thanks for all your help! ha ha i'm glad it was something so simple. The rover is up and running again!

 

dont use superlock going forward. in theory it's a great idea if you live in a country where carjackings are a problem, but now it just causes major headaches.
