2002 Disco Starts & Dies

[ssemone]

As Murphy would have it, my wife called me in a complete panic "the Rover just died on my way to work" while I was away on a business trip. I've had some time to look at it this morning, it started right up and the alternator looks to be putting out ~14 - 13.8vDC (initially I thought maybe alternator based on wife's description of problem). Anyway, it was running for some time while I monitored the voltage - I walked away from it due to heavy rain, later to discover it stalled again. Apparently it starts back up after sitting for a period of time. Any thoughts on what I can check, No Failure Codes are being generated.

Thanks in advance - Scott

Isn't the crank sensor what was Bob's ailment in Airville last year on his older Disco?

Yep, as far as I can tell.... I haven't wanted to drive it two hours on the highway and have it die again.

The Disco has run great since the crank sensor change.
