disco man Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have a 1996 Discovery 4.0 V8 gas,( fuel injected) while off-roading one day, about two weeks ago, i ran out of fuel. I put 8 gallons in it it would still not start. When i would spray starting fluid in the intake it would run (as long as i kept spraying). I figured it was the fuel pump, so i bought a new fuel pump it will still not get fuel to engine. I have read about the button on the fire wall to reset the fuel system. and i have pushed it. nothing happens. All of the fuse's are good and i've checked every thing i can think of. And even though it has 8 gallons the gas gauge wont show it. Any idea of whats wrong? or any hint's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_d Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Few things to try. If the gauge is not working I would suspect the tank or the pump/sender are not earthing so start by making a temporary earth wire. If OK check to see if the pump live wire has 12volts while the engine is cranking. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
