Just picked up my first Range Rover a 1998 4.6 HSE Auto. Got it for £1100 with 95k on clock. Owner had problem where it revved up and lost power all the time. Took along a new TPS fitted it and had to jump start as flat battery but ran fine without the problems previous owner has experienced.
Gearbox and gearbox ECU had been replaced before with problem persisting. Drove to petrol station car restarted no problem. Drove 80 miles on motorway had maybe 3 events where it revved up with momentary loss of power only really a minor annoyance. Pulled into Motorway services to check everything over. After 10 minutes put key in after unlocking only dash light came on no cranking. After while realised engine check light was taking about 20 seconds to come on after blinking for a second. Was then able to crank.
No spark or fuel as cranked loads and with fuel sprayed into inlet no response and no fuel out exhaust. Key FOB now only locks and unlocks occasionally but red light always comes on. I think maybe Crank shaft sensor is damaged which maybe in partnership with faulty TPS was causing severe problems last owner had. They never drove it far as it had problem from when they bought it. I think maybe the ring on the flywheel has smashed an out of adjustment sensor on a long motorway run.
I am also aware that due to the battery drain it could be immobiliser sync. No message about EKA on dash though and I understand that GEMS does not allow cranking. Because it takes 20 seconds to recognise code could I be in a state of partial immobilisation?
Car is 30 miles away at services and its £340 to tow home so am hoping to get it fixed in one trip. Am I going along the correct lines with Crank Sensor and Re-sync?. I intend to get the EKA code fron Land Rover tomorrow and carry out all the EKA procedures I have found I understand as it's a 1998 I start with 4 turns to unlock. Also there seem to be loads of different crank sensors available anybody know which one I would need for a 1998 4.6 HSE?
Car has had new Air Mass sensor. replacement gearbox and ECU and a scan showing engine ECU and gearbox fault. I think as the gearbox get info from engine ECU and TPS this could be same problem.
Any suggestions or help appreciated. Would I need a re-sync tool or does complete EKA procedure do this including reconnecting battery with igg in position 2? Have seen people saying it just does central locking others saying it sorts immobiliser too.
