Help me commit insurance fraud - ispoonwithmugen - 09-26-2016
Just kidding.
I left the white Land Rover in a field over the summer while I was gone. It was running fine when I parked it. Now that I'm back I was driving it back home (2 hour drive) and it died about 1/2 way there. Unsure of what went on I opened the hood. Rodents chewed one spark plug and two pig tails.
Okay, easy fix. I soldered new pigtails on, order a new plug wire set and being proactive ordered 8 new spark plugs. Replace everything and still not getting anything. It starts but won't turn over. Here's a video that sounds exactly like it.

Any suggestions besides running it into a river? The PO replaced the fuel pump so I'm having trouble believing that would be the problem again (I know how shitty they are but damn).

Does it crank/fire with a jump? I'd start with the battery, measure the voltage while you're turning it over. might get lucky and it's just a dead cell.

I tried the other day but not today. It's worth a try I suppose. I hope so, that'd make my life alot easier.

Leave it in my driveway please :twisted:
What do you mean it "starts" but doesnt turn over? You mean the other way around? Have you checked fuel pressure? Crank signal? Coils firing?

I've got a charger with a 50amp setting for jumps if you want to borrow it.
