The car start with any problem but after few sec(1-2) the engine shut off, without any error code, I checked relay fuses, change crank sensor but nothing help, Have you some idea what it should be ?
thank you for any response.

Try the basics
1. check fuel supply
2. check spark

My first though was the crank sensor, but you have done that. So, what about the fuel pump?

Oh yeah, welcome. hope you get it sorted. Someone will know.

How long have you had the vehicle?

Hello
I add video from start to here: Discovery 2 start - YouTube

I remove pipeline from fuel pump in car trunk and it work, sparks word as well
We have this car about 8 year but use it only seasonally and not long distances, it drive about 5000 Km/year.

may be after you watch the video someone will have an idea what I should be.
Thanx for your answer.

To get an answer you must tell the history of this fault... it started doing this just like that out of the blue without any preliminary symptoms? the engine stopped while driving then this cut-out started?... or how?... dont expect miracles while you dont give enough details.

Sorry, but that is a bit harsh! The bloke is obviously struggling with English given his location. He is not asking for miracles.

He has shown exactly what is happening, and I am sure if it stopped somewhere on the road he would have said so. It appears to start easily enough, but what is stopping it when the key returns from the start position?

I have no experience with coil pack types of ignitions, or their associated ECU's having only worked on D1's, but the way he has "tested" both the ignition and fuel is not going to point him in the right direction.

So at first sorry for my English but it is not my native language, I m just learning it.
Long story sort. I parked the car in the garage last night, and in the morning, it wouldn't start. No symptoms before, nothing. Car working well. I checked cables if there is soma broke but didn´t find anything broke or without isolation to make short circuit.
The video is not so good. I put key to "0" position, but the engine was turned off.
Like I said before engine start well but after sec died.
May be some control unit in wrong and do this fault. but it is hard to say when diagnostic don´t show some error code.
