okay well yesterday i picked up a 95 disco from a private party and drove it home (160 miles or so). when i got home i started to clean it up a little bit and replaced the headlight bulbs with some new piaa gt-x's.

well this morning i went out to go start my new rig up and nothing. it sounds like it wants to crank over but then nothing. i tried to start it for about 10 minutes before i got upset and pulled the battery connectors off and checked to see what the charge was.well after me trying to start it for 10 minutes with nothing i think i drained it down a bit since my charger read about 25%. so i set it on the charger and took my bike out to go do my running around. got home it read a full charge so i tossed it back in same problem. (i got it back on the charger again now)

when i first try to start it it sounds like it wants to start but then time after time of me trying to crank it over it gets weaker.

the guy i got it from said that its been having a start up issue the past few weeks. he told me that it was something to do with one of the injectors. the previous owner actually showed me what it was because when i went to go test drive it, it actually diddnt start. when he went to start it up he just bliped the throttle ever so lightly and thats what helped get it to start (i tried with no such luck today).

input on what my problem might be or anymore pointers on trouble shooting my problem would be greatly appreciated.

 

Clean and tighten all the battery leads then after you do get it started take it by an auto parts stor and have them do a battery and alternator load test to see what the problem may be.

 

ive already cleaned the terminals and connection points to the battery. they actually looked good before i even cleaned them. thats not to say i dont have corrosion beneath the surface i can see though.

 

But, what sort of voltrage are you making, got to be above 13.8 and under 14.6 volts. I mean to me, it sound like a low voltage issue.

 

well by some stroke of luck i got her to start this morning after doing a few quick little things. i dont know exactly what triggered it to start but it did after a few tries. this is the exact order of events i did this morning

took the battery off of the charger (left it charging overnight)

took my intake off (found out i have a k&n panel filter)

disconnected and removed my maf

cleaned maf as it was dirty (also found out the screen is torn)
1. cleaned body with wd40 on a towel
2. cleaned the screen section my taking that section off of the main maf body and spraying it completely with wd40 and gently wiped the nasty build up off the inside and the screen with a towel

took the rest of the intake piping - intake plenum off and found my throttle body butterfly nasty as well so i cleaned it the same way i did the maf
1. sprayed wd40 in there and wiped it down really well with a shop rag

checked all spark plug wire connections again

reassembled intake

hooked the battery up

with key in the drivers side door i manually locked and unlocked the rig 4 times

it took a couple cranks to get it to start up but it finally did which had me over joyed.
