hi guys,
Looking for some advice from those of you with diagnostics kit. IFor the past few weeks the wife's '99 4.6 has had an intermittent starting problem. When it happens the engine spins as normal but will not start. To begin with I thought it was a failed engine temp sensor. I changed that (twice to be sure) but no difference.
I took it to the local Indy who has the full land rover diagnostics who gave, me a list of the codes stored in the various computers. Few appeared relevent (to him at least) He cleared them and they stayed cleared. As expected the car started every time when it was plugged in. A few days later and the same no start problem. Took it back and there are no faults logged. I would have thought that failing to start would have recorded something - would you guys agree? I thought I was being clever by getting the faults read rather than throwing parts at it but at 50 quid a pop on the test book I am not so sure.
