i have changed the crank sensor!! is there anyway of testing these?? the one i took out was very dirty, what else can this be its driving me round the bend????????

thats cuz it broke down on the way to the petrol station to buy the fuel to burn it!!!! :( bloody thing is destroying my will to live now.. i have replaced cooland temp sensor, crank sensor cleaned and checked both tps and iacv it didnt cut out for ages then just dropped revs i had to pull over...

replaced both coolant temp sensor and crank sensor both were dirty and looked worn anyway doing a test drive later on will update if problem has been solved if not look for the thick black smoke and flames over weymouth :(

Better to be on the safe side than have to replace a fubar sump:rolleyes:

your sump is an alloy one you can use a jack but buffer it with a bit of wood [between jack cradle and sump] obviously so as not do damage it, welcome and good luck :)

thanks for suggestions but have cleaned and sealed both the idle air control and throttle position, have checked fuel pump and filter, beginning to think its either temp coolant sensor or crank sensor, would either of these act like this if they were on the way out???

day to day its fine [2 miles to work] and short trips round town, but go a bit more say duel carriageway or constant running for 40 mins and it will act as if its ran outta fuel loose all revs and stall. doing my fecking head in now, really do not no what to do???????

:( yep k series so no turbo and my filter is in tank:mad: but thanks for other suggestions, i will update when its sorted or i convince my wife we need a defender:tea:

timing is spot on, no air leaks at all, am going to plug it into software asap but need this for a big trip on Sunday, pretty sure this little hippo hasn't got cam sensor?? however i am using auto data and its stating my crank sensor is at the front of the engine???? yet i am pretty sure its...

completed all checks regarding throttle body and all other parts, still no joy??? really wondering about the fuel pump as i am now stumped :{

had some people suggesting fuel pump?? would this start playing up when hot? i no on some vehicles this may be the case but is it a problem with the hippo's?

please for the love of all that is holey help me:mad: i have rebuilt my top end after crank bolt drama [1.8 k series] sorted timing headache and all was well then sorted water pump:( now have a reoccurring problem once again, so there's the back ground here's my problem, once engine is up to...

all sorted now thank fuxk, it was starter motor knocking back as the batt was poo, also crank was all but a ant's nut out of alignment so got it spot on and hey presto it started first turn of the key, thank you to all for the really useful advice regarding my cams as this was a big part of it...

have seen post and followed all data and instructions regarding cam placement both are on the correct pin, inlet is on the [in] side and exhaust is on the [ex] side and cam timing is set with a straight edge as exhaust inlet exhaust inlet, bottom crank is set at proper marks [two dots and...

sorry no intention of selling my project:D have looked up correct way to put cams on and changed them round now timing is 100% correct however its still not starting:mad: i am deffo getting a spark deffo getting fuel have charged the batt up so have electricity it spins over and cough's alot but...

thanks for response ill get it sorted tomorrow and update the thread if my little freelander springs into life, if all else fails ill burn it and get a disco :)

i thought they can only go on one way?? hmmm can i just 180 deg turn the cams so they are in effect upside down [exhaust and inlet will be :/] will this work? thanks for reply's folks :)
