Default Stalling, Now won't start

I have been a member of this board for only a few months but have seen a lot of great advice and support from the members here, I NEED HELP>I have a 2000 Disco 2 with 135,000 miles. Yesterday she stalled at a stop light and i was able to fire it right back up. Parked at home and left idling, she died again at idle then would not restart. Tried to start it an hour later and she fired right up. This morning I drove to the parts store to pick up a fuel filter and SeaFoam. Got back in and she would not start for an hour, while I waited I added the SeaFoam to the gas tank. I drove the vehicle to a buddy of mines and let it idle, turned it off and on several times with no issue, then drove it to my office. The vehicle has sat for 6 hours and now will not start. Any thoughts?

might just be bad gas, you are running premium only right? You bought a fuel filter? I thought there was no fuel filter for the DII.

From what Ive seen and experienced Rovers dont like cold weather...........Let it sit in garage and let itdo the ECU .. yea I got it now thing .......seafoam in cold weather is like doing a nasal spray...... Makes u breathe ok for awile then u get plugged up... My advice would be to run the crap out of the little ****

I live in San Diego.... Not too worried about the cold weather. I will look into the fuel, anyone ever replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor?

Your problem is a bad crank sensor.
DI's have fuel filters DII's do not.
There are tons of threads on bad crank sensors.
It is a PIA to replace, drivers side of engine, half way down at the bell housing. (back of engine)
Unscrew the old one and unhook, install the new one and you are good to go.
Return the fuel filter, they either sold you one for a DI ora Land Cruiser, $7 per guy at the discount auto parts counter does not know a Land Rover from a Land Cruiser from a hole in the ground.
