    Taking Bets on CRANK/NO START

    The scanner came in but we've had some rain lately so I haven't had the opportunity to pick up the Landy. Sedimentation is a possibility, I am going to retest the fuel pressure as soon as I get it back. The only thing I don't like about a clogged pump/ filter (& maybe injectors) is that this...

    Thanks. I am finding it hard to believe it is the ECU the further I dig. I feel like if the ECU had shorted ther'd be a blown fuse. yet all fuses are fine. Unless in the months it was sitting a rodent chewed a wire downstream. Nevertheless, if it was a ground fault, as the mechanic is now...

    I went to pick up the Freelander today from the mechanic and he changed from "cannot read ECM" to "ECM has a ground fault" He wants me to purchase an ECM (which I may get from EBAY) and have someone at the local used car dealership who has "THE SPECIAL L/R scanner" to reprogram.... he also said...

    Thank you, Nodge68 This is the exact reason I started doing my own mechanic work in the first place. I was short on time however, and thought he would speed this up a bit but he's already had it for WEEKS. I checked the fuel pressure my self (months ago) and if my memory serves me right it was...

    I thought the KV6 was OBDII compliant... that's why i bought the damn thing. However it was stolen months ago when I was away from home on a trip. I am getting ready to move soon, so I thought this local mechanic may be able to speed up the process, but he is telling me that "THE SPECIAL LAND...

    Thank you, David. VERY PECULIAR, the mechanic called me today and said that he had a friend come by with a Land Rover Scanner. He said that HE COULD NOT READ THE ECU/CCU and that I need a new one... and that we would START there. I am calling BULL SPIT because I had a bluetooth OBDII reader...

    Thank you. The first time i was able to drive it around the block, I disconnected the MAF sensor. It was some time ago, however I recall that once it was running and in drive it did not make the popping noise in the inlet. I had no control over the acceleration though, it was in "creep" mode...

    Alright Fellas, I have tried my darnedest to figure this out without starting a new thread but I have no more walls to beat my head against. This is a 2004 Freelander HSE kv6 NAS. This vehicle was running when I bought it, however it was leaking at the thermostat. I replaced the thermostat...

    Coming Out of The Closet!

    The '01 Chevy Silverado is a 1500 5.3L v8 Vortec and her name is Berfa. Originally "Bertha" but my 6 year old could not articulate the "th" so it became "Berfa" same thing happened to my cat Luther... He is now Lufer, which actually suits him better because he is freakin' weird. Berfa was a...

    Coming Out of The Closet!

    Hey Y'all, Call me Samuels, I've been a closet member for a over a year, mostly because I dreaded the long sign up process but also because I didn't feel like I could be a contributor, thus only a burden. However, I was wrong... the sign up was extremely quick (LOL). My previous toys were a...
