Help my Discovery is stalling
Hello,
I'm new to these forums. And I found them as I am trying to find out what is wrong with my Disco.
I have a 98 Discovery 5speed manual. And it occasionaly would stall as I would come up to a rolling stop while on neutral. As it would start again immediately and would not repeat this problem for some while I hadn't been to worried about it.
The other day it stalled on me again but this time it refused to start. The starter was cranking perfectly, so I don't think it was an electrical problem. About an hour later is started just fine and it has kept on starting just fine. I'm going to change the spark plugs just as a precaution but I'm worried that it might not be the cause. I'm wondering if might be the fuel pump.
Has anyone experience this problem before and better still managed to resolve it.
Thanks

Thanks Mike,
If got the local garage changing the plugs and checking around. I'm almost positive they won't find anything but I will tell them to clean out the fuel filter anyway.
As to what you said about the fuel pump, I do remember thinking that as I was cranking pretty hard, I was not getting that distinct fuel smell I would have been expecting. Which brings up another point: Lucas Electronics [:@]. So it may turn out to be something like that.
What is it about the Fuel Pump as I probably will want to do it anyway.
Thanks
Mike

also fuel pump on yours would not be lucas elec., but AC Delco.

RE: Help my Discovery is stalling
glad i could help a bit
but it is prolly the pump thats bad vs. wiring to the pump, although it still could be.
you might be able to cross refrance it.
By Lucas Elec. I meant the electrics conecting the pump.
The part number wont work as I'm not in US. Noted though, get pump and not complete assembly.
