Question Hi,
I have a 97 Disco and when engine is warm to hot, the engine seems to surge
on and off, almost like you are turning the fuel on and off in 3 sec intervals.
Can you direct me?
I have replaced the fuel pump, but still have problem.
Thanks, Jason Randall
Answer The surge is probably caused by some kind of fuel trim issue. I think you would see the problem if you connected a t4 or autologic test system and watched the live data stream when the engine acted up. You'd be able to see what parameter was out of range.
