ok guys it seems my landy need some help , the car wont start so i had my friend to help me out to diagnose the problem with his OBDII scanner and it shows nothing . but he insist it was the fuel pump that need to be replaced and made me wonder if i could replace it myself so any help would be appreciated guys , oh 1 more thing is it true that i have to take down the gas tank or i could just fix the fuel pump from the rear cargo area ...helppp

 

whoa, lets back up a few steps..what kind of rover? year? mileage?

 

Is the check engine light on, what have you actually checked?
Do not put a pump in your truck on a possibily, pretty pricey and probably not needed.

 

Yeah we need to start over.
If the check engine light is NOT on you wont get any codes.
What model, DI or DII?
What exactly is it doing?
Why spend $300 when you can fix it for $60?

 

oops its discovery 97 with 142xxx miles and counting , the check engine light is on but the scanner only shows o2 sensors circuit malfunction , and im still waiting the sensors to arrive . but other than that it didnt shows any other problems but my friend is suspecting the fuel pump beacause i just replace the fuse couple a weeks ago so .. guys i really need your help here..thanks a lot

 

and its juat wont start , after my friend sprays some liquid on to the filter the engine starts that is why he told me it was the fuel pump . btw i forgot to mention this .

 

Turn the key on and listen for a hum in the cargo area. If no hum, pop the hood and look for a silver tube on the passenger side. There will be what looks like a valve stem for a tire. Take the cap off and push in the valve as if you are letting the air out of a tire. Be careful, as this should relieve fuel pressure. If fuel does not squirt out, I would start with the fuel filter, then move on to the pump. It can be accessed under the carpet in the cargo area.

 

if i do that , relieve the fuel pressure , will that help or that would determined that is indeed the fuel pump or the fuel filter that need to be replace ? because i dont want to mess up everything .. thanks a lot discoguy

 

If no fuel squirts out, you have no pressure to the injectors. From there, check the filter, at your mileage, it wouldn't hurt. Then, if you still have no pressure, check the pump. Soak the filter connections in some PB Blaster a couple of times before you try to get it loose. It is under your rear passenger wheel well.

 

jimbo, if you're worried about fuel squirting out and you want to be more precise you can put a fuel pressure gauge on that schrader valve okdiscoguy is talking about.
