I just finished getting my repaired radiator back in and decided to take the Range Rover for a test drive. All was well, ran good, no problems.
On the way home I was pulling around a traffic calming device and as I came out the Range Rover died. 1993 LWB 4.2.
I coasted to a stop. I got out and started looking for the problem.
I have spark.
Tested the coil to ground good strong spark.
I tested a plug wire to ground good strong spark.
I have fuel.
Took one side of the supply to the fuel rail off and got fuel to the rail as I witnessed it coming out of the line.
I have air.
I don't have a spare MAF to check with but I assume as it was running fine and stopped it must be electrical.
I had an error code 17 the last time couple of times I drove her. Two times I pulled up to the house I had a 17. I did not have a code when I took her out this time. I had a dead battery and set her on the trickle charger all night. She started with no trouble before the test drive.
I checked all the connectors at the coil and the water temp sensor. I unplugged the Engine ECU and reseated it. I reseated the MAF connector.
I am wondering at this point if the throttle position sensor can cause the vehicle not to start.
How do I test the TPS?
