Landrover discovery fuel pump

I assume the 'manual' you refer to is part of the Green M + S lights and not a manual transmission. If your vehicle is an auto transmission, your problem is possibly related to the XYZ switch on the left of the transmission housing. You cannot start the vehicle if the ECU thinks the vehicle is not in park or neutral, and the contacts in the XYZ switch provide the signal for the ECU to know this. Try putting the selection lever into P and then through the gears a couple of times. If the starter is turning then the xyz switch is not the prime starting problem. You are not getting fuel to the engine. This could be be a failed fuel pump, blocked fuel filter or the fuel pump inertia cut out on the engine firewall. This should give you some things to check before asking for the tow truck. Good luck.

put a fuel pressure gauge and see what the start up pressure is it should keep pressure over night with only a couple pounds of pressure drop

Hi Angie, The fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and fits onto the high pressure fuel pump. Regards Johngee10

i need to brush up on landrovers

what year is yours
SU carbys or EFI system

spark plugs means fuel ....not a diesel
leads and coil and electronic distributor fitted

a bang when started ? that a backfire through the air filter ?
timing out or fuel issue

you say running rich running rough
the 02 sensors may need replacing
clean maf and air filter
timing chain or belt slipped ?

starting if a separate problem
starter relay or starter and solenoid to be checked out

ur cars fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank on the rear cargo

does it have fuel pressure? to find this out get a can of spray starter fluid from a auto parts store, spray it into the engine air intake, if the engine starts you most likely need to replace the fuel pump which is located in the fuel tank.

check battery to see if working normally, do fuel pressure test to check fuel pump and electrical try banging to fuel tank while cranking if starts poss fuel pump.

if it is a mems unit , it will need to be programed to the key fob and alarm . (there is no way round it).

its the fuel pump cut off switch... just change the switch which is located in the fuel pump.it look like a big screw with 2 or 3 wire coming out of it.

happy trying.

Hi.

Make sure there is voltage going to the fuel solenoid on the pump, i did the same with my landrover and it just would not start or would start and just cut out, turned out to be the wire going to the fuel solenoid was not working, just re-wired from a wire behind the dash board that supplied enough voltage, that when the landrover had started the wire then supplying voltage.

Just check by putting a multimeter on the fuel solenoid wire and turn the engine over if the voltage drops to below 12v then it`s most likely the same problem i had.
