Aloha
I have a 1996 Discovery SD with a 4 liter V8 injected and four speed automatic. When I drive up hill over 1000 feet higher the vehicle begins to intermittantly decrease in power and the check engine light comes on, flashing the last time, then staying on. The computer monitor indicated an ignition fault, there have been no problems with starting. The spark plugs were changed and were fouled indicating a rich gas/air mix. The mechanic knows several things that could cause this, but does not want to begin replacing parts until he finds it. Has anyone heard of a similar problem?
