Hi,

We took my brother in laws land rover and did a compression check on all the cylinders. We cleaned and re-gapped the plugs and put it back together and nothing. We checked the firing order (but if you have input on firing order feel free) and all seems correct. It will "try" to start every few strokes but only shudders. What am I missing here? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

 

1. Put a plug on the plug wire and lay on manifold. Crank. Any sparks? If none, ignition amplfier.

2. On the fuel rail on the passenger side (NAS) there is a "tire valve" where you can attach a pressure gauge. When cranking it should be 32 - 34 PSI. Can be fuse to pump, pump, fuel filter. Should hear pump run for a second or two when key is turned.

 

Spark or fuel, has to be one of those.
These things never loose compression.

 

anyone have a link for the firing order for a 95 disc 1 ? its 3.9L
cant figure where the RAVE thing is .....

 

You'll find the firing order on page 826 0f 873 in the workshop manual. You'll find the RAVE in several links in my signature.

 

bump..

Firing order 1 - 8 - 4 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 7 - 2
