MY 2003 RANGE ROVER 104K LOST ALL PEDAL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A QUATER TANK, I PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN AND IT CAUGHT POWER REALLLY LATE THEN WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL DOWN AGAIN THERE WAS NO POWER. THE CAR SHUT OFF.. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN IT MADE A NOISE LIKE IF A PERSON WAS TO TRYING THE START A CAR BUT THE CAR WAS ALREADY ON. AND STAYED ON ON FOR A COUPLE ME MINUTES THEN SHUTS OFF. I CAN'T PUT THE CAR IN ANY GEARS. IM GUESSING BUT HOPEING ITS NOT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT, SOME PEOPLE WERE GUESSING THAT A FUEL ISSUE WAS PRESENT AND THAT THE CAR WASN'T GETTING PROPER FUEL TO RUN BUT I HAVE NO IDEA AT ALL WHAT IT COULD BE. IM VERY CONFUSED ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED THANK YOU ALL FOR READING.

No i didn't get that done as of yet. does it sound like diff failure to you?
It sounds like something inside is spinning but not actually applying power, but the weird thing is when i leave the car of 10mins i can move it for a couple feet in drive then it totally loses power. and when i try to start it up it will not stay on. but if i give it 5 mins it drives a little then loses all petal power and all gear power. i have no idea what this is.
brad s1 Thanks for your post i will go outside i look under tomorrow first thing since its dark now. i guess im looking for a broken piece or something like that. it always was looking coolant from somewhere in the car i thought it was a seal. and i also think i saw red fluid when i was under the car a few months ago if thats has something to do with anything. thanks
I definitely was not able to tell if the diff or front shaft went but its definitely the old propshaft when i looked under the front. thanks RRphil for telling me to check that. well today when i check the car out i notice that grinding noise i thought it was. it was actually the car cranking and not turning over. the way i had the key in i thought it was turned over and making that noise. that was dumb of me :( . My friend put a fuel starting spray in the mass air flow sensor and the car turned over and was quiet but didn't stay on long enough for me to try and put it in a gear. Now im thinking its possibly something with the fuel pump that cause the suv to have proper fuel consumption and shut off?? these range rovers are so confusing. Any ideas anyone? currently im searching for a good mechanic until then Im trying to figure it out. Thanks to all
Thanks very much I know those things aren't good but i was so desperate that i wanted to see if it was going to turn the engine on which it did because i had no idea what was wrong. I definitely what to check the fuse to see if it needs replace. I want to start with that. The second thing i want to do is check the fuel filter but i have no idea where that is located. If anyone does that will be great. I also im not throwing any codes at all which seems to be weird. I will give a update tomorrow when i change the fuse thanks so much everyone for your answers its extremely helpful to me.
Today I tried change the fuse for the fuel pump and crank the car a few more times and still no start. The car lost so much power it couldn't even try to crank anymore. Tomorrow i will buy the rave Manuel thanks brads 1 good idea because i don't know where the fuel filter or pump is. I also have a mechanic that will come and and try to diagnose a few things Ill let you guys know what happens as soon as hes done Thanks to all for your constant responses and help. I hope its only a fuel pump.
Thanks so much Brad s1 that download worked. well today i had a mechanic come by and check the car out. they said that hooked up the diagnostic and read this code

P1455 -Diagnostic monitoring for tank leakage power stage short circuit to ground minimal signal

Whatever that means I have no idea, and it still won't start, any ideas guys?
OH MAN WOW THAT SOUNDS VERY COMPLICATED :( IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRIP TO THE STEALERSHIP UNLESS IM ABLE TO FIND A GOOD MECHANIC THAT KNOWS THESE ROVERS, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THIS CODE? I HOPE THIS CAN BE FIXED FOR A REASONABLE PRICE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PRICE RANGE THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GO UNDER. :cry:
