Hello all - hopefully someone can shed a little light on a recent problem...
My 1999 Disco II has been very reliable until last week. Died at a stop sign and would not restart. Thirty minutes later, truck started and ran fine. I took it to the local shop - they did an OBD scan and told me there were no fault codes present. The battery was pretty old and getting weak so I got a brand new Interstate battery. The mechanic drove it 10-miles and everything was fine.
That same evening, I drove an additional 10 miles - no problem. Then slowing down to make a turn, the engine died. Would not restart. Plenty of crank but would not catch. Like it was not getting fuel. No warning lights illuminated. Lights and all electrical accessories still worked. Truck sat all night, next morning started right up. Problem only seems to happen when engine has been run for 20 minutes or so. Of course that could be totally coincidental.
Any thoughts? Engine was tuned up recently, new plugs and wires. Could it be a fuel pump that wants to die, but can't make up its mind?
Weird...
