its syncmate im usuing, ill use live data on snap-on ethos tommorrow to see if cranksensor is ****ed up, many thanks for all the help so far!

so why is it showing 4k on cranking? possiblity tht the new crank senosor is faulty? would this then make the ecu think it should be getting fuel as its running at 4k and messing it up? its logging fault code rpm wrong see

how does the needle lift sensor tell it rpm? does it work on fuel getting to it? as mines getting none? have fuel at injection pump but none coming out of the pump on the lines?

also, as my old engine had the large pump casing ive had to build a sort of hybrid pump out the two parts, has anyone ever had the large pump casing machined down to fit the smaller aperture?

right still not working, used sync mate and same fault, you turn engine over and it reckons its turning over at about 4k? have already fitetd new crank sensor, but what precisely tells the engine the rpm? just the crank sensor? or is it in conjunction with anything else?

so do you think that by uising the bmw pump and ecu first to try it the cars lost its head, so to speak?

couldnt swap the pump over as the diameter was different on both units, so ive put the top half of the range rover on the bottom half of the bmw one, using original range rover control unit, whats this syncmate?

where do i begin... first off, made a big mistake, buying a car for cheap with no service history, first things first i thought id service it... oil came out was full of tarry lumps! changed oil and oil light started coming on once she'd got up to speed!... decided to fit new engine, old one...

just got back into the landrover ownership with a P38 2.5DSE manual, used to have a series one disco that was ridiculous but been without a 4x4 for a while as was using a ford ranger 2wd for carting stuff around!
