Ran out of oil; thank you in advance for helping!

White spark if the color matters
No fuel smell from exhaust
Just checked & replaced the relays (fuel & both blowers)
NO fuel in the rail (pressed pressure valve; got air)

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

Also no petro coming out of the line going INTO the fuel filter

Well, it may be time to pull the pump. Sometimes, it is the fault of brittle wires going into the the top of the pump. Sometimes......

It also may be time for down loading RAVE, the workshop manual for Landys. land rover service factory manual RAVE download land rover resource, service manual, workshop factory manual, download, rave, vehicles including discovery, series, defender, range rover, freelander, LR3, Handbooks, Catalog, Catalogue, Land Rover Inte

It takes awhile because of the size of the file, but it's worth the wait.

I SWEAR YOU GOTTA BE BEHIND ME!

I've been searching for that manual all morning!
Every site I tried only had discovery links available.
I tried rave and a few other direct sites.

Of course. I've got your back. We just lost one of the few Yanks on the forum, so we remaining few have to stick together.

You should also now go to the "Introduce Yourself" part of the forum and do just that. Say your hellos and tell us what kind of car you drive. Most of the peeps here are British. You know how they are about etiquette!

Oh, you've done that already. Please forgive me. I'm a bit slow.

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

I would of Been A fool not introduce myself first!

I've saved money in just diagnostic fee's alone.

Until now, I really had no common sense of self diagnosing my range; we all have 5 senses but rarely anything in common. So I take information seriously.. Especially great info!

That being said... I'll go into the pump tomorrow morning once I get home from work.

Just a thought.
Before you start stripping pumps try removing the tank filler cap and see if the pump brings fuel up. If your tank's not ventilating you could be trying to overcome a partial vacuum.

Oh, and if you're still having problems, get yourself into the Range Rover section where you'll find the experts on this car and engine.

Morning,
I'm on my way home now. Will do.

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

I have fuel in the rail now!
Lol.. The many start attempts over the last few days has drained my battery!
Will update after the charge..

 

[West Slope Rover]

Was it from venting the tank?

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

Was it from venting the tank?

That's just it I'm sure, but I'm pretty sure..

To let you know what I did..

Opened tank door
Put key in position 2
Opened the gas cap
I put my finger in the tank hole to open the flap
Cap off went to start from passenger side
Rather than the fuel starve hesitation I was getting, I got the 'I left my lights on & need a jump' hesitation.
I opened the hood & checked the fuel rail..
Fuel came shooting out; hasn't been since I put the new filter yesterday morning. Actually, the first time fuel has even went through the filter since I changed it.


Now I'm waiting to borrow back 'my' charger from a friend..
Progress is a slow process but the end is so rewarding!

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure

 

[West Slope Rover]

I've never seen it, but I've read online that sometimes the vent blockage is so bad that it actually can cause the fuel tank to get deformed from the suction? Any sign of that?

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

If your pump is working you should have seen a very noticeable surge of fuel when the ignition was turned on. If it was just dribbling , that doesn't count. No surge, no pump. If you can still hear the pump, and no surge, it's the pump, **********************************

or less likely, but still possible, your tank isn't venting properly.

I knew I remembered you saying this!

 

[Rangeroverfamily]

Nothing noticeable
