Discovery 2 V8 no spark or fuel
Hi all,
Im currently building a defender 110 but I have taken the engine, gearbox and transfer box along with the looms and ECU’s from a Disco 2 V8. Before taking the D2 apart, I drove it around to make sure all was well. Since swapping everything into the defender chassis I’m getting fuel on first crank but no spark. If I continue to crank the car over I get not fuel or spark but they car will happily crank over.
I have pretty much everything connected other than the abs sensors and lights etc etc. It seems to me that it may be an immobiliser issue but I would greatly appreciate any assistance from the knowledgeable chaps on this forums.

Don't forget about the also default answer...."Resetting the Inertia (fuel-cutoff) Switch".
Although that, and/or a bad Main Relay/connection might be possible with this Frankenstein Rig.

Camel Trophy
Yes, it could.
Could also be a bad fuse box. I had the same issue. Replaced the CPS, main relay, and the entire engine bay fuse box. I messed with all three in the last round before it started finally (three days of laying/working in the snow later), so I don't know exactly which solved it, but that could be your issue.
