Land Rover Discovery - Land Rover Discovery 1995, 2.0L Mpi ENGINE PROBLEM - mikejari

Hello, I hope somebody can help me.. My Discovery 2.0L Mpi, 1995 has an engine problem.. engine jerking. It happens randomly, at any revs, at any speed sometimes even neutral. It can be ok for few days. When it comes, sometime can help stop the engine and start again. Engine starts always very well.

I have changed plug cables, coils and fuel filter (the one which is out of the fuel tank) already. There was no problem four weeks after I have changed plug cables than it comes again. So I have changed coils, it was ok 3 weeks and comes again…. I changed fuel filter today but it did not help. Do u have experiences with it?

Thank you…

this particular 2.0 16 v engine did suffer with sticking valves, this can cause missfire at idle and misfire when driving.

Forte do a gas treatment that helps, if you use this and the problem is reduced thsi will indicate that it may be sticking valves.

Make sure you have the right engine oil in the engine, if you use 15/40 etc its too thick and will jack the lifters up at certain engine speeds
