Evening chaps,
I have a 1994 Discovery 3.9 V9 auto, last week it was involved in an accident and has made a slight mess of the front end, it ran fine after the accident and i continued to use it until tuesday when it ran out of fuel.....
Ive put 15 litres of unleaded in tried to start it but it wouldnt fire. Used the valve on the fuel rail to bleed air out.... still nothing, occasionally it sounds like its catching on 1 cylinder but still nothing.
Today i took the spark plugs out and they are wet..... but not with fuel as it doesnt evaporate or burn easily when put on a flame, put the plugs back in and it started but ran extremely rough it held the revs about 2k rpm and slowly it died off and cut out, tried to start it... nothing, plugs out again, very wet...... I have a feeling there is water in the fuel system, i drained some fuel from the fuel supply line and whilst it looks like petrol, there was a white looking substance in the bottom?
After each time i took the plugs out and cleaned them, it started and ran really rough then slowly died off and cut out....
Ideas?
