Just finished the first leg of a long two way trip and went out this morning and truck not starting. I have a fuel pressure gauge installed and it is showing 30 pds of pressure, so I think it is ignition or spark and not fuel pump or fuel filter..

I am not at home with all my resources so any direction on trouble shooting would be of great help.

Its a 95 D1 3.9 dizzy engine.

 

can you get you hands on an OBDII scanner to check the ckps ?

 

Maybe check for spark off the coil, just pull the wire going into the dizzy and place near a metal item(I believe that's how you check, been a while).

 

Fuel pressure a little low, 37lbs ideal.

 

I'm getting my head in testing mode gear. Went through this about 5 years ago. I am Texaninmass on LRO..

Ignition system test - Page 4 - Land Rover Forums : Land Rover and Range Rover Forum

Trying to find the test procedures that I now remember from this article. I just downloaded the 95 Shop manual here locally, so hopefully they will be easy to find.

Drowssap...it's pre-OBD. Really a 94 production truck.

• I am going to run the codes..
• Test the coil
• Find the test instructions
• Headed over to a salvage yard this morning to pull everything I can think of off the ignition on a same model Rover.
• Replace fuel filter (I don't think its the pump because of the good pressure)

One thing that I did not report in initial posting. Twice on the trip the truck started losing power..surging...the fuel pressure gauge is mounted on my hood and it was jumping from 33 down to 8 pounds. I kept the RPMs up untill I hit a Gas station and as soon as I pulled in I filled up added heat...thinking it was bad gas.

Both times it started right up and ran for several hundred miles before mis-behaving the second time. Also got big suck on the gas cap both times. The second time I left cap loose.

 

sorry

 

She has run for the last year that I installed the fuel pressure gauge at 27 to 34. I put a replacement fuel pump in her about 2 years ago. Finishing up at salvage yard and will replace filter as soon as I return. Dont' think it's the issue but I have a new one so it can't hurt. been about 3k since a changed it

 

can someone post coil and amplifier test procedure? I cannot find them for the life of me...

 

Maybe this will help.

 

Thats it! Thank you...Will post results....
