It says you have 10 stored codes. Did you list all of them?

I believe a code came up it was something about cold start timing or something like that but I erased it and it seemed to go away?.

I was hoping that a code beyond the misfire codes would give an indication of the root cause. Please check your list of codes again. You did not list all 10 codes in your post, if I counted correctly.

Wow, the last time I saw codes like this on my LR2 I had a burnt valve which caused all the cyls to misfire. You didn't say, but I assume your Check Engine light is flashing?

Probably time to take it to a shop. They may perform a relative compression check to determine if compression in each cylinder is consistent. This diagnostic test is easy, inexpensive and will provide important info. Your mechanic friend can do it himself if he has a scope.

If you have low compression on a cylinder, the next step is a wet compression check to get an idea if it's a bad valve or piston rings. If they find problems with the compression, they may need to do a teardown of the head ($$$) to visually inspect the cylinders and confirm the problem. These additional diagnostics are expensive, but cheaper than a new car. This describes the journey I had with my vehicle. Hope your luck is better.

I agree, if all cylinders are misfiring it's tiime to take it to a reputable shop.

Your ECT is way to high. If the engine is compensating for a bad Sensor you could get the misfires as it runs too lean for a cold engine.

@stephdoerfstep , If I may,

Please don’t be discouraged. The codes you provided are generic codes, with generic reasons. These are not LR specific codes nor reasons.
LR codes look like P0301-##. It is these extended codes that allow an LR savvy technician, to get to the root of the issue, efficiently, utilizing the pinpoint tests. Any other path is wasteful.

I would heed my colleagues suggestions of getting in to a shop. Again, don’t be dismayed until a proper diagnosis by the qualified LR specialist is done. Any other path is based on rumor, innuendo and hypothesis. And will end up costing more.
Truly, the culprit can be something simple as opposed to dire. The fix “cheaper” as opposed to “expensive”.

As for the independent LR specialists, they are easy to locate. Typically they strictly focus on LR and Jag and are filled or managed by technicians that spent time at the dealer. (Where do you think they got all their specialized training). And their parking lots are full and they are the busy ones.

Fwiw
