Stranded in my 2003 Disco

Gents:

I have a 2003 Disco II @ 85000 miles, that's been pretty darn good. No issues until today.

We drive into town for a few miles, go to the movie for a couple hours. Come out and drive 1/2 mile and it dies. No amount of cranking will soliciate a pop or start. Just cranks.

I checked the fuel pump fuse and it's good..... and I have voltage the the pump fuse, and assume to the relay.

Suggestions..??? Is pulling the fuel pump the next step ?? I also preseed the "emergency fuel cut off / restore button" under the hood to no avail.

many thanks...... Mike14k

Google for oil in wiring loom matey, well known issue that causes misfires & a sudden lack of anything.

Quite cheap & easy to fix.

If not that, could be the alarm?

Ah, you're in the UK. If it's a V8 try crank position sensor.

So my 2001 DII with 88k and a list of things gone wrong with it as long as your arm is a rougue then, or is the rougue yours...?

Diesel, petrol, or LPG?

The fuel pump on a diesel DII makes a very noticeable whine from the back end of the car for a few seconds when you switch on. Not so noticable inside the cabin but it is outside.

Which engine?

Can you hear the fuel pump running when you initially turn on the ignition?

Have you got a spark?

No sound from the pump, which was my first tip off. And if I pull off the breather at the airfilter and shoot starting fluid in the intake, it fires for a second. Hence the thoughts of a fuel pump issue.

Mike14k wibbled:

Long shot - try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and bang it back on again. I may reset whatever has thrown a hissy fit. Worked on my old Merc.
