What you are describing is an indication of no fuel getting into the engine. You need to check the fuel pump with a pressure gauge if you have one. This could be the fuel filter that is clogged too. The pump is electric and it is in the fuel tank. Check the fuse to make sure that it is ok. Changing them out is not easy if the fuel tank is full and it is dangerous in any condition because of the flammable nature of gasoline.

Did you hit a big bump when it stopped? you may have a fuel emergency shut-off switch that tripped or a blown fuse.

I just expiriance the same problems on my rover so i check it out and found that the engine spark fuse was out. I replaced the said fuse and their you go it started. You can find that fuse under the dashboard in the satellite 1 fuse box. it should be the 3rd one from the right. Good luck buddy hope that helps you out.

SOURCE: Range Rover p38 bmw 2.5 injection running problem

Hello,
It turned out to be a broken wire on the injector which was causing a bad connection,now running better than before.
The cold was just a coincidence.

Thank you and best regards,Yvonne

SOURCE: range rover l322 2002 heavy power steering renewed

The Solenoid fitted on the Steering Rack is not getting the command from The Body Control Unit. Kindly Replace your BCM and then your problem is solved. You can try to make sure by giving direct current of 12v to the solenoid and check the Steering. if it works then simply change the BCM as it's not giving d command to the Solenoid. Salman EiD

SOURCE: 1999 range rover se changed fuel pump, truck still

why you have replaced the Fuel pump? who advised you to do so?
be guided as follow 1. on the Engine Side on the top there is a fuel rail for the injectors. turn the ign. key to the second position (on) and check the valve located on the fuel rail if fuel is coming pressurized and still won't work. then open on of the spark plugs wires and check if spark is there. (Be Careful doing that). if no spark then is there any message comes up on the Dash? if not messages then you can check the Crank Sensor if no current being generated from the ign. coils.

I WAS DOWN BY THE STARTER CONNECTING A GROUND WIRE AND I ACCIDENTLY TOUCHED THE POSITIVE NOW MY 1999 RANGE ROVER 4.0 SE WONT TURN OVER WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED

May have melted the fusible link going to the starter. Or blown the main fuse. I dont know the exact location of the fusible link in this truck. What happened is the starter solenoid wire completed it's path to ground without first going thru the solenoid windings.

1998 ford taurus will not start without using starter fluid

I would check fuel pressure before and after you crank the engine.
The pump gets power for 3 seconds during startup - if the fuel pressure has leaked down you would have to crank the engine until the oil pressure came up to get the pump to power up again.

My 96 crown vic police interceptor, cranks won't start without spraying starter fluid.. the car won't start without spraying starter fluid into air intake hose to carb...

starting fluid is a thing of the past. dont use it. this car doesnt have a carb, its a throttle body/ electronic fuel injection system. you most likely have a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator issue. test the fuel pressure, should be anywheres from 35-50 psi

Car has been sitting; will turn over but won't start. Used starting fluid and car starts but quits. Won't fire without starting fluid. There is fuel in the tank. Help!!

My first thought is to check the fuel pump operation.
Check to see if fuel pump is getting power.

This is how I check the pump.

Usually there is an in-line fuel filter that can be removed.
While its removed...bump the starter to see if gas shoots out the gas line.
If not, there might be a clog at the pump...or the pump needs replacing.

Hope this helps...

My 1998 GMC jimmy won't start without starter fluid sprayed in the air intake on top of the motor.a small sprits and she starts right up.what do i need to prevent that everytime startup issue.

Your fuel pump isn't putting out enough gas to turn over motor it needs over 14lbs per square inch of pressure to start even though it only needs 12 to keep running. you will have to replace fuel pump.get acdelco and you ill never have to replace again.

you may have a fuel related problem,
remove the engine cover and find a fuel test port on the fuel rail
have some one crank the engine and you push in on the core of the valve to see if you have any strong flow of fuel
