FormerMountainMan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I have an 01 Disco II with ~165K milesI started having issues where the engine would surge for about a second when sitting at a traffic light...It then started just dying when stopped (runs fine while moving seemingly) - would readily startThen I had the occasional trouble starting it after driving somewhereOver the last few months, I have replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor (both with the help of the auto shop teacher at the high school where I work), plus MAF sensor and throttle position sensor, along with the fuel pump and fuel pump relay!Ran fine for a while, but now it's doing the SAME THINGS!All these things are sporadic - one trip it'll drive perfectly fine, the next it'll surge at one light, then sputter and die 10 minutes later at another...Finally got some computer software and connector and got a Cam Sensor A error code, plus an evap error code (I know I need to replace head gaskets)(or could this be when I removed the fuel pump?)Since I already replaced cam sensor and this said "A" - could this be bad already, or is this an old code from before I replaced it? Any other ideas what might be causing this sputtering and surging?Thanks... and help! About to drive this thing off a cliff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
