Hey all,
First post here.
I've been reading through related threads (and learning) about the issue I have with my recently purchased P38 Range Rover (GEMS).
Backstory::
Bought it last week, it started first crank every try, ran good, idled for about 10 mins with no overheating. Test drove nicely.
Handed over cash
Got on freeway home and temp gauge pegs to the red.
I pull over immediately and cut the engine off. Steam was coming into the cabin through the air vents so I figured a heater core hose blew.
Towed it home
Charged the battery
Bypassed the heater core
Now it cranks and cranks but will not Fire...
I have verified that it has good spark
Has good fuel pressure at rail
And oil / coolant are both clean (no blown headgasket)
I know that the Ckp sensor controls spark so thats good.
My question is what could possibly cause the car to not start anymore if it has fuel, air, and spark? The becm is syncing fine (getting check engine light)
Also what would kill the injector pulse because thats my next guess as to what happened.
CLIFFS
-Bought good running Range
-Overheated once for no longer than a minute 30 secs
-Cranks but No start for 2 weeks and counting
(has fuel, air, spark, becm+ecu sync)
-Getting pissed
Thank you all
