does this sound like a crank position sensor?
My 02 discovery with 125K (90K on the engine) may need a new crank sensor from what I’ve been able to research on this forum.
Here is what’s happened: out of the blue it didn’t start in the driveway. It would crank as long as I held the key. No chokes or sputters, just a strong, “dry” sounding cranking. Later, I went out after awhile and it started. I went on a short drive during which it cut out for a half a second and then came back on. It was longer than a miss. My ultra gauge read “err” but gave no codes.
Then it did it again at my work parking lot. I left it and came back in the evening and it started. Later that evening it didn’t. This morning it did. You get the picture.
I have not had a chance to check for fuel or spark yet. Is it time to order a sensor?

My Disco just died while waiting at a red light with no warning. Light turned green and I hit the gas and the truck did not move! I did not even feel it shut off on me and the radio never went off or anything. It cranked fine, but would not start of course. Shop plugged in a new crank position sensor and it fired right up.

Well, for the first time ever I didn't want my car to start. Today after work it kept on starting so I could never check the spark. I knew as soon as I drove somewhere it would quit.
Finally, after supper, it didn't start! Sure enough, no spark. I checked on two wires just to be sure.
Are the symptoms for bad coil packs different?
Also, when the key is in position 2, I hear a hum in the engine compartment (not the ABS hum).
I think I'll use my kid's daycare mat while I lay under the vehicle this weekend to change that thing.
