Noticed the day before it died, a little stutter on acceleration to about 35 mph but went away. Parked the car and fired up with no problem and drove home. This morning the car fired up with no problem, drove with no problem and re-fired up after parking. However on the way home it died and coasted home...luckily. Haven't been able to start since. The truck cranks but acts like out of gas. At times it almost feels likes it's going to fires up but it doesn't.

Any thoughts on this?

 

check fuel pressure at rail.

 

How do I do that? I've done enough on the disco to know most things, but have not done anything with the fuel system.

 

rail is forward of coil packs under the intake. there is a small shrader valve sticking out the back (hard to see, but you can fill it) drivers side iirc. a tire gauge will fit on it. a proper small size fuel gauge is better. put it on and have someone cycle the key forward to engage pump. see what you get

 

Could be the crank case position sensor. When they fail they go quickly.

 

could be you Crank Shaft Position sensor.

 

I read in another post yesterday , hook up a scanner and crank the engine. If the tach/RPMs remain at 0 then replace the crank position sensor.

 

It sounds like what mine did when the Crank Position Sensor went out.
