Hi, its a P38 petrol 4.0 1995 auto- Engine turns over, but will not start, not even a cough or any sign. There seems to be a spark at the plugs & I can get fuel from the valve on the rail. Plugs do not appear wet with fuel. Any suggestions please!
 
Cannot remember if yours cranks when it loses sync?

Does the petrol have the emergency stop button behind the driver's kick panel?
 
I seem to think that the gems will crank but thor definitely doesn't if immobilised.
No idea on the fuel cutoff.
 
gems cranks,only if mobilized,check light on,fuel cut off switch by accelerator to the rigt behind panel,should be pushed down,

I have no idea about the stop button. It cranks over fine, but there is no sigh of life! I have fully charged the battery & changed the plugs.
There are no messages on the display. The 'engine check' light goes out after a while if the ignition is on.

I'd be checking the emergency stop switch. If you disconnect a fuel line and bridge the fuel relay does it pump fuel?

I will have a look for fuel cut off switch, but I do get fuel from the valve if I press valve in on the fuel rail after cranking, it just does not seem to be getting to the cylinders?

That sounds immobilised. Have you got diagnostics or is there a Nanocom near you on the Land Rover International Rescue map? You could try the EKA code.

When I turn ignition on I can hear the fuel pump run for about 6-8 seconds. I got someone to hold the valve in on the fuel rail when the ignition was on & fuel came out ok.
 
Is the dashboard light by the windscreen out? If auto there's a red LED on that too?

I did re enter the EKA code, but made no difference.
Where do I look up a Nanocom on the Land Rover International Rescue map?

Never noticed the dash light. It is auto & I did move the lever through all the selections in both high & low. I could hear the selector motor when moving from high to low.

On my phone so cannot post link. Go to forums amd scroll down until you find Land Rover International Rescue. Under it is a post for the map. In that post is the link. Go to the map and zoom in on your area. Hover over the icons and it'll tell you what they have.

Failing that, try sending a message to Mozz and see if he can help. He's a genius at starting these things.

That's OK. Both have to go out before it starts.

Found the Land Rover International Rescue map, that a great idea!, but no one listed near me with P38 or Navocom.
I'm in Longfield between Dartford & Gravesend Kent
