Thread: Starting problems v8

I'm not sure about the sensors, but in mine you can hear the pump running. As soon the pump stops it starts easily, but if I am in a hurry and don't wait for it to stop it takes a "few" turns of the motor until it pumps up enough.

Could be
1 faulty/old non return valve in pump allowing fuel to drain back. Go to speciilaist to test fuel pressure drop with gauge.
2 faulty non return valve in fuel pressure regulator ditto. and ditto
3 faulty fuel pump relay. Does it buzz and click fror 10 seconds when you turn the ignition on?
4 worn out injectors dropping fuel out of rail. remove for ultrasonic clean and check
5 old faulty MAF sensor . specialist to test
6 old faulty TPS . You can test with multimeter
Any number of other things
I suggest that you get a manual and do a diagnostic on the injection as per the manual. A 3.9 Range Rover is the same.
